According to Anonymous, the act is in solidarity with the ongoing #EndSARS protest which has rocked many cities in Nigeria and the international scene; following calls for the dissolution of the controversial police unit, the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS).
The SARS has been alleged to be involved in abduction, harassment, extortion and murder of innocent victims.
Anonymous tweeted:
“Nigeria: Anonymous hacks multiple government websites in solidarity with #EndSARS protestors and retribution for violence by police. #OpNigeria #EndSARS Protest.”
EkoHotBlog gathered that Anonymous reportedly released about 371 names of SARS officers in Nigeria.
