IGP should not allowed occult, yahoo boy, arm robber , children raper, women raper and 419 who calling either for the overhauling of SARS or scrapping to have upper hand, Nigerians themselves need to be overhauled, everywhere you go now is either cultism, 419 ,70 years old man raped 8years old girl, killing everywhere , the only police outfit those mention above fear is SARS including WIKE of river state. IGP and Osibanjo should allow SARS to work, those clamoring for the scrapping of SARS have something hidden and therefore they should not allow them to succeed.
All yahoo boy,s arm robbers , children raper, occult you can quote me and speak grammar, SARS do this and that which you yourself knows it is not truth just to paint them black to be scraped so that you can continue with your cultism and arm robbery. Arm robber, occult, children raper over to you. quote me i know you, you either repent or you die like mosquitoes.

Oga SARS lover lover...! Have u ever asked yourself this question on Why do SARS operations focused on Southern parts of Nigeria than Core North where murderers, Jihadists and Fulani Herdsmen are based?? Why are they so focused on Non HausaFulaniMuslims youths of Southerners?

The purpose of the overhaul is to fix SARS endemic system of corruption. It's like they don't carry out their job responsibilities any longer, rather torture the innocents since their pockets are not full unlike the bandits you mentioned.

Please, it's long overdue. I support this.

The Human Rights Desk is a right step. But I think the whole Police Force needs this overhaul. Ordinary Policemen display more disregard for the citizen's basic civil and human rights in Nigeria.
