The Presidential Panel on Police Reforms has agreed to meet the five demands made by the #EndSARS protesters across the country.
Spokesperson for the President, Femi Adesina, in a statement on Tuesday, said the IGP at a meeting with stakeholders agreed to release all the people arrested unconditionally and halt the use of force against the protesters.
There have been renewed calls for the scrapping of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigeria police force over reports of brutality and extrajudicial killings.
Following the protest, Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police (IGP), had disbanded the SARS unit.
President Muhammadu Buhari had also issued a directive, calling for a reform of the police force.
