Inspector-General of Police, Muhammad Adamu, has declared that social media was the biggest weapon used to escalate End SARS protests
He spoke on Thursday in Owerri when he visited Governor Hope Uzodinma on Thursday.
Adamu inspected damages done to both public and private and public properties by hoodlums.
The IG hailed police officers for acting in a professional manner during the unrest.
“Our men acted professionally during the protest. They had their guns, they were being killed, yet they respected human dignity. I came to visit vandalised property and to see the level of damage done to police facilities in Imo.’’
Adamu promised to boost the morale of personnel dampened by the widespread of violence.

When they want to kill or hang a dog they first give it a bad name. Every officer of this regime alongside certain traditional rulers and governors are giving social media a bad name. The government should initiate campaign to drive positive use of the social media. You cannot throw the baby with the bath water. They shouldn't forget that the youth in their house needs the social media as though their lives depends on it. If they kill the social media they may unwittingly be resurrecting the second wave of #EndSWAT protest. They should be prepared to bear the consequences.
