Since the protests started a few days ago, more people have taken to the streets in many different states in order to protest and demand an end to the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS).
Many of these people have stories of their experiences with SARS and during these demonstrations, several iconic pictures have been captured, with the story behind them shared on social media.
Below are 10 of such pictures:
