Good a thing that the IG of police has said he was going to reorganize the SARS dept of the police after series of Innocent citizens who went through hell in the hands of these SARS officers started shouting out. TODAY 10th December I and my sports colleague travelling to Lagos for AG meeting of the Nigeria Cricket Federation was robbed by these so called SARS officers along Asaba to Benin expressway. The CP of Edo should look into this matter and find this group of police officers who continue to disgrace the police force. For 2hrs we were held hostage with handcuffs not minding that I identified myself as a Commissioner in Imo State. Every money found on us and in our bags were taken, my wrist watch was taken, my pepper spray was taken, other valuables were taken too. So many times during this ordeal guns were corked and we were told that they will shoot us dead and nothing will happen. Our Phones were taken away from us, so that we can't make any call, the place was so lonely and they forced us to park where their hidden car was parked. A brown Camry written police by the two sides of it. From that point were we are, you will not see a passing car approach till it vooms past. You will imagine when they eventually told us to go and I reminded the one they were calling commander that we had no other money with us, the six of them started debating how much should be given to us, after about 10minutes one brought 3,500 out of over 40,000 they took. As we were still with the one who brought the money, another officer came with an extra 1,500 and added. We were now been forced to drive off. Even when we noticed that oil was dropping from our car and wanted to check. They refused and told us to go to somewhere else and do the repairs. If at my level and status, I got such treatment, I wonder what our innocent citizens are seeing out there. IG Sir, pls some of these bad eggs should be carefully removed from the Police force to bring sanity. Nigeria must be better.

Commissioner Ajaelu

This is creepy!

If, in a moment of madness, one of those guys choose to shoot that commissioner dead, that's it. What if it were me, an ordinary citizen tooling along that road with my "never say die" jalopy, and all I got in my pocket is NGN 2,450?

Nothing stops them from dragging me to the nearest ATM to empty my account of the little balance I'm hoping to purchase a Christmas chicken with. That is, after a few face changing slaps and insults.
The bad eggs in SARS far outnumber the good ones. Which is the reason why the outcry for scrapping the outfit is so loud. Reforming it won't make much impact.

The security situation in the country is horrible. Sometimes, you have to think thrice about stepping out of your house.

Holy Moses!

I still wonder what is there to reform in SARS honestly. They should send these guys back to sambisa. The IRT headed by Abba Kayri is fine without a presence on the highway. Intimidating got nothing to do with hardened criminals. Just last week a bullion van got robbed in Asaba and the Ak wielding SARS were no where to be found.

#endSARS

just end sars.

Lol! SARS has always been perpetrators of crimes from time immemorial!

Very soon it will be the turn of the IG of police, then nobody will ask him to act fast on this people.

A corrupt and Special Arm-Robbery Squad of a corrupt police police force is worst than Evans and co.

Even the IG u are calling is reluctant.

SARS on the beat

#EndSARS

Lol

Do we need further proof in support of the #endSARS movement? I don't think so. We have more than enough proof already.

The Nigerian police force has been neglected by successive governments since independence. No government has made it a priority to restructure the force, that's why it has become the worst police force in the world.

Total overhaul of the Nigerian police is an issue of top priority, or else stories like this will continue to make the headlines.

i hate when some mention the world "bad eggs" in sars. There are no good eggs in sars, they are bad news...they should go , reforming them means change in format.
