He added that, the police,\u00a0individuals and the Federal Government suffered great loss. The losses according to him included six police officers, about 13 police stations that got destroyed in Lagos\u00a0and 48 in the country as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Adamu whose first port of call was the Makinde police station, stated that 1,539 suspects have been arrested across the country in respect of the #EndSARS protest while efforts are ongoing to trace and arrest the remaining\u00a0suspects that carried out the dastardly act.<\/p>\n<p>He commended police officers for their professionalism, saying they turned the table around against the protesters by not using maximum force to repel the hoodlums.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The attack by hoodlums in this manner has the tendency to provoke the police. 14 states in the country were badly affected as a result of the violent protest with Lagos State witnessing the worst attacks and when we are provoked we have the capacity and strength to repel these hoodlums.<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;When the youths started campaigning against SARS, \u00a0they came up with five demands which the authorities acceded to because they were demands that could lead to reforming not only SARS but the police formation as a whole.
