There have been continuous demonstrations by youths in the West African country as they demand the scrapping of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS)
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright has joined Nigerians in calling for an end to the activities of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a unit of the Nigeria Police Force.
Young people in the West African country have been protesting in large numbers over the last few days, with SARS widely accused of unlawful arrests, torture and killings.
Earlier this week, the Federal Government promised to reform the police unit, but citizens are demanding more than reorganisation, with a disbanding of SARS the goal of the protesters.

After watching a video of how SARS operatives harass the youths on social media, Wright did not hesitate to lend his voice to the public outcry.
"#EndSARS #EndSarsNow," the 56-year-old tweeted with a Nigerian flag and a love emoji.

AS Roma, also joined to show solidarity for Nigerians with a message on their pidgin account.
"We are seeing what our fans in Nigeria are going through. We have read all tweets and messages since. We stand with you and we pray no innocent lives are lost again. #EndSARS #EndPoliceBrutality,” the tweet read.

Reason why SARS can't be BANNED nor REFORMED:

Let me enlighten you guys on why some happenings in Nigeria (esp #endsars) will never be looked into. Because I've noticed that most Nairalanders are not in tune with reality, rather idealism.

Now, there's something called "food chain" if you remember your primary 4 science. That's what's playing out here. You can continue to wail and scream all you like it's not gonna change a thing. All these protest may fall into the deaf ears.

The SARS unit you meet on the road, before they were given such strategic location to mount, their OC (Officer in Command) already gave them a target to meet of maybe 10,000,000/week depending on how sensitive the area is. Now if they don't meet this target, they'll be replaced (in which they don't wanna risk).

The OC has been told by the Deputy Commissioner to meet a target of maybe 100,000,000 from his 20 teams (X) the number of OCs in that state.

The DCs will take 200,000,000 to the CP.

The CPs X 36 states will take 3,600,000,000 to the IG

The IG is gonna take 1B to who put him there. And so on till it gets to the C in C or fades away from our understanding.


And you sit here on Nairaland and say the foot soldiers (SARS) should not meet their target? Laughable. I laugh IN Japanese.

Are you saying that the C in C should issue an order asking them to stop doing what is bringing Money to their pockets? Laughable grin

Get this straight from today, whenever something which ought to be done right is intentionally done wrong just understand that someone/some people are on the benefitting end.

You think all your hashtags (ENDSARS), posts on Nairaland, twitter, Facebook, blog posts,etc don't get to their notice? They do. But Oga they won't end shit. Buhari won't end it.
If you think they don't see it, why is that one small hate speech about them (that we did not even hear about o) DSS will go and pick the person. But full protest and online campaign will not be heard. Oga read in between the lines now.

You can scream all you want online, nothing is gonna happen.

What pains me most is, it's the southerners and westerners (SARS Officers) that kill themselves (the southerners) the most. You can drive in the North for 2 months before seeing SARS once. But southerners don't like each other. So they kill themselves like goats then blame northerners everytime for their woes. As a sars officer you can't try all these rubbish up north. They'll transfer you that same week.

Buhari's government will be in history for many things... negative things.
