Some protesters in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, took it upon themselves to gift police officers packs of bottle water.
According to them, this was a sign of peace, as they demanded reforms in the law enforcement agency.
Nigerians are currently protesting in numbers against the flagrant abuse of their human rights by officers of the Nigeria Police Force.
In response, the police has proposed various reforms which includes the dissolution of the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS or FSARS).
In a video sighted by LailasNews, some protesters could be seen handing out gifts to police officers who were on duty across Rivers state.
According to those who took the initiative, they said giving the officers the water gift was a sign of peace, and affirmation that they are not at war with the force.
