On his part, IGP Adamu said social media was the greatest weapon used to escalate the #EndSARS protest across Nigeria. He advised Nigerians not to allow the country to pass through the experience it had during the protest in future.

“I can tell you that our men acted professionally during the protest, they had their guns, they were being killed, yet they respected human dignity.

“I came specifically to visit vandalised property and to see the level of damage done to police facilities in Imo,” Adamu said.

Adamu said he would also address key police officers to encourage and boost their morale which he said was low due to the protest. He said he would strengthen community policing and partner with relevant parties in achieving the aim.

The IGP added that the visit was aimed at ascertaining the level of damage done to both public and private facilities during the peaceful EndSARS protest hijacked by hoodlums to loot and cause civil unrest in the society.
