EndSARS is a social movement in Nigeria that started on Twitter calling for banning of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, a unit of the Nigerian police force.

The relentless effort of the protesters led to the disbandment of SARS by the Inspector General of Police, but Nigerians have continued the EndSARS protest in different parts of the country, despite the announced disbandment.
