There had been fears that some people are planning to hijack the #EndSARS, #EndSWAT, and #EndPoliceBrutality protests with calls that the protests should not be turned into a political gathering.
It is believed that the youths' rejection of Sowore is a sign that the youths do not want any political tone to be added to their protests as they demand a total reform of the Nigeria Police Force.
