Recently (today 17/07/2018) , Social Media was agog with the pictures of F-SARS operatives (in official NPF F-SARS kit) in a casual photo (see attached photo).

Commentaries from citizens casting aspersions & insults followed same. In the midst of all these it is important to not loose sight of the following under listed facts:-

- operatives in that photo were part of the team that was involved in the capture of billionaire kidnapper "Evans"

- The operatives as recent as few months ago where involved in the release of an octogenarian relative of mine who was kidnapped on his way to Delta state from Lagos.

While Nigerian's may be pissed with regards to thier "looks" it is important to note that 70% of their work profile involves serious undercover work in tough & very hostile environment & they should not be expected to look like Idris Elba on the cover of Vogue Magazine.

Try & imagine how security in Lagos State would be if F-SARS is not working for just 12 hours. Trust me it would be a MAD MAX kind of apocalypse.

Give our policemen the support they deserve & push your elected representives to allocate more funding to the NPF.

Shalom

That doesn't mean they should be Harrassing innocent citizens.

It also doesn't mean they should be looking as Thugs..

Shalom! Shalom!

Go and die, most of them are criminals.
They will die a terrible death insha'Allah

Then why the selfie if they truly know and understand what undercover truly means. They could as well be undercovering for some nefariousness.

I must salute the honest and hardworking officers amongst the forces though.

If this people stop you on the road, what will come to your mind first.

the poster is a police officer under then inspector transmission of police media crews. what a damage control.
come to think about it in a neutral climates the transmission is still heading the police force and Nigeria is expecting change.

these guys are criminals and kidnappers, they kidnaps Nigeria youth for ransom and posting rubbish.. you talk as if you are not in Nigeria. they are extorting money from Nigerians daily and you are talking trash.

No one has complained about the dressing initially. If not for the evil torments and abuse on masses and non suspects.

How can operatives of F-SARS be part of the team that captured Evans when Abba Kyari has his own team?

IRT & F-SARS arrested Evans.

Exactly my point.

Are all F-SARS operatives guilty of heavy handedness??

No.

Stupid nonsense excuse. They work undercover yet they post pics of themselves in FSARs uniform online for the whole world to see.
Is like you are related to a FSARs official. I hope karma visits them soon for all their evil works towards innocent people.

God will continue to protect you in your job, S long as you do not extort innocent citizens

after going through several of your post. I give up.

please quote here where you initially castigate the SARS. I want to see. you can't fool all the people in nairaland.

f*ck them they bunch of assholes and by the way, who the f*ck are they protecting?? they don't deserve that job. There are a lotta people who are willing to die for their country but they wont get the job only lowlife riffraff's with connection in the system gets the job and end up not doing what they are supposed to do and harass people anyhow. f*cking scumbags.

Kindly reset your analogue clock

I don't work there.

I am only concerned about the generalization & lack of objectivity in the way some members of the public have interacted with is issue.

The NPF is far from perfect but it does not give us the fiat to demonize every single operative of the unit.

Alas it's the Nigerian way, same thought processes that thinks all fulani's are killer headsmen & all south easterners are drug barons.

All I can say on a public forum like this was that there was malicious intent in the upload of these pics of officers on duty at thier place of work (not harrasing or terrorizing a citizens)

gaby:

Hahahaha!!! Did u just say involve in "Serious undercover work"....Pls no "Serious undercover"detective will open teeth and post for a selfie adorning the attire of their security agency, you alluded it was taken by a third party, why allow a third party take implicating pictures of u showing teeth and brandishing assault rifles as if They are FSARS fashion models, when u know d pics might see the light of the day, why not delete the said pictures if not for show.

Though...I'm not gonna dispute their mediocre undercover work or debase their commitment to work and putting their precious lives on the line, but they are also VERY committed to the terrorization and the harassment of innocent youths and Nigerians abi the harassment is also part of their " Serious undercover duty"

Thanks for the Inquisition.

But I am not interested.

Irt and SARS did not arrest Evans. IRT has its men drawn from different units of the Nigerian police force. Most of the team members are mostly from F-SARS.

Those are IRT strike teams. The undercover unit of the team is unknown.

This is the same thing when it comes to the FBI, USSSS etc. Undercover officers(the ones performing surveillance) are unknown but some members of the tactical unit are known at times.

Bro, The dude I quoted implied those guys are involved in "Serious Undercover Duties"

Coming back to your contrary assertion that they are IRT and they are not involved in surveillance or undercover work, it is still amiss and very inappropriate taking Selfies, showing teeth weilding assault rifles as if they are FSARS fashion models, because in sane nations and certain areas of the world where crime is rampant and raging esp like Nigeria where crime is unchecked being a police officer is extremely dangerous even AFTER they go home, they might still not be safe so balaclava and masks are worn by I.R.T, FBI H.R.T and even SWAT to hide their identity from onlookers and criminals, thus preventing reprisals against officers and their families.

The searching of phones may now includes web searches of nairalands. Any negative news about SARS and you will go away for a long time. .Be warned.

OP it's quite obvious that over 95% of the people on the thread including myself don't buy your opinion. We know FSARS, they do good once in an eclipse but the evil they do by far outweighs their good. Some have had personal encounters, others have had friends and family suffer in the hands of the these government backed and armed daylight robbers.
I know it seems we the general public are generalizing and we lack objectivity but that's because to this, their is a single version of the truth.

But if this is an attempt at PR, please you guys should go back to your drawing board and restrategise.
