Orabueze, Florence; Ukaogo, Victor; David-Ojukwu, Ifeyinwa; Eze, Godstime; Orabueze, Chiamaka, Reminiscence on #EndSARS protests of 2020 in Nigeria, 13 1 2021 , pp. 1-15

This study of the #EndSARS protests that shook Nigeria in October and November 2020 considers how far they can be related to more violent acts of insurgency such as Boko Haram. The study adopts a historical framework and draws on qualitative and quantitative research methods to explore how endemic governmental corruption and 'the re-enslavement and recolonization' of citizens' by political leaders has led to youth rebellion. The authors conclude that protest and violent forms of revolt will not cease until the deep-seated causes are tackled.
