Endsars Rally Commences In Nigeria As Protesters Give IG 21 Days Ultimatum by massinola(m): 1:03pm On Dec 11, 2017 |
Nigerians have trooped out to protest the brutality, intimidation, extortion and killings of innocent citizens by the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS ) and called for its immediate scrapping. Speaking at the rally, the convener #EndSARS #ReformPoliceNG , Segun Awosanya said that Nigerians have spent the last one week highlighting the travails many Nigerians suffer in the hands of the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS). He said that the stories that have been recounted on social media include stories of torture, a lack of respect for the rule of law, extortion, extrajudicial murder and the disappearance of hundreds of people. Awosanya noted that the police unit has outlived its usefulness and now constitutes a clear and present threat to the safety, well-being and welfare of most Nigerians. The group has given the authorities 21 days within which to meet these demands failing which they will be compelled to resort to other measures to embarrass them into taking action. They listed their demands as follows during the lead rally at the Unity Fountain Abuja: 1. We demand for an outright scrapping of the entire SARS unit across the country. Its members have become engrossed in crime, murder, brutality, extortion and disrespect for the rule of law in a manner that makes any attempt at reform a waste of time. 2. We demand the constitution of a panel by the Police Services Commission to reform the Nigerian Police in its entirety. The agenda must include provisions for better training of police officers; provision of better equipment and firearms; better welfare including housing, insurance, prompt payment of salaries and pensions etc; establishment of a code of conduct and strict compliance thereto as well as strong disciplinary measures for any officer who violates the code of conduct. 3. We also demand a public hearing at the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to enable Nigerians to table their grievances before our elected representatives as well as the submission of memoranda on reforms of the Nigerian Police including recommendations on the amendment of laws to ensure a more efficient police force. 4. We demand thorough investigations into complaints filed against SARS officers. We demand that such officers be identified and immediately brought to justice. In some cases, we will provide video and pictorial evidence against officers who have been seen to be involved in such acts of brutality and extortion. http://saharareporters.com/2017/12/11/endsars-rally-commences-nigeria-protesters-give-inspector-general-police-21-days-scrap

TrueSenator: Mumu. You are typing this nonsense becuase you are either related to a SARS official or you haven’t been harassed by them before. If the latter is the case, the day they malhandle you, you will be on the front burner of #EndSARS campaign |

you are the greatest idiot for asking FG to scrap a police unit because of obvious misconduct on their part. Why didn't you say the same for the entire Police force....or are they now perfect? I suggest and appeal to reasonable Nigerians to think carefully and not act with sentiments/anger.... instead, a total reform and frequent behavioral trainings including public prosecution for defaulters will help build public trust while producing other desired results....
