According to reports, Maryam Awaisu, a Nigerian activist and founder of Are We Met Too, was arrested by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) on October 14, 2021. However, she was released just hours later, on the same day.

Maryam Awaisu is a prominent voice against police brutality and extrajudicial killings in Nigeria. Her organization, Are We Met Too, focuses on providing support to families of victims of police brutality and advocating for justice and accountability.

The arrest of Maryam Awaisu sparked widespread outrage and condemnation on social media, with many calling for her immediate release. The Nigerian government and the police have faced intense criticism for their handling of the #EndSARS protests and the subsequent crackdown on activists and protesters.

It's worth noting that while Maryam Awaisu was released, many others who were arrested during the #EndSARS protests remain in detention, and the Nigerian government has been criticized for its failure to hold accountable those responsible for human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings.
