Abstract
The End SARS protest in Nigeria, a nationwide demonstration against police brutality, witnessed the active involvement of the church as a significant social institution. This study critically examines the church's role, motivations, and the impact of its participation on the protest's trajectory and outcomes. Using a qualitative research approach, the study draws on in-depth interviews with church leaders, activists, and protest participants, as well as a comprehensive analysis of media reports and scholarly literature. The findings reveal the church's multifaceted engagement, ranging from providing spiritual and material support to protesters to actively advocating for change and facilitating mediation efforts. The study contributes to the understanding of the complex interplay between religion, social movements, and political dynamics in contemporary Nigeria, offering insights that can inform future civic engagement and the church's role in addressing societal challenges.
