A few hours ago, popular musician Naira Marley cancelled his planned protest against police brutality and had a live Instagram chat with a police spokesman, Frank Mba.
Mba answered questions from some Nigerians and Naira Marley on SARS, which has been facing criticisms lately.
Here are major highlights from the chat:
· The Nigerian Police will get SARS officers off the roads and this will be enforced by the Police.
· All Police Officers must put on their official uniforms for identification.

· Citizens can send direct messages to the police through their various social media channels.
