Atiku, Sunday Dare, Saraki, Others Call For SARS Reform After Viral Shooting Video

Minister of Youths and Sport Development Sunday Dare has joined voices condemning the recurring brutality of the Nigeria Police Force’s Special Anti-Robbery Squad after video of the shooting of a young man in front of a hotel in Ughelli, Delta State went viral on Saturday, Igbere TV reports.

The video showed how there was confusion around Wetland Hotel in Ughelli where the policemen allegedly killed the victim and escaped with his vehicle – a white Lexus Sport Utility Vehicle.

Global rights group Amnesty International, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Senate President Bukola Saraki have also condemned the act and called for the reform of SARS.

Mr Dare said the Federal Government would look into the reports of harassment of Nigerians by SARS.

Igbere TV reports that in a statement issued on Saturday by his special assistant John Joshua-Akanji, Dare said he had been monitoring reports of the attacks by SARS, adding that relevant government agencies will investigate the incidents.

“The minister of youth and sports development, who has also been monitoring the reports of alleged SARS harassment and attacks, has called for immediate investigations that will unravel the truth,” he said.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, wrote;

“The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) unit of the Police was set up to confront violent crimes such as armed robbery, kidnapping and other related crimes.

“However, the unit has today morphed into an oppressor of the Nigerian masses who strive every day for a better life.

“Reports of intimidation, harassment and outright extortion by officers of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) have continued unabated.

“I strongly condemn their cruel actions against our people, and I urge the government to rise to the occasion and nip this monstrosity in the bud with the seriousness it deserves.

“It is expedient that the activities of SARS are reviewed to ensure that the rogue elements are excised from the unit and sanity returned to its operations.”

Former Senate President Bukola Saraki wrote; “The reports of the continued harassment, illegal arrest, detention and high handedness by rogue cells of the SARS Unit of Police against innocent Nigerians - most of them young people - in spite of efforts to reform the Police & raise standards of policing, are disheartening.

“A situation where the officers of Police become a threat to the lives and property of the very citizens they swore to protect is condemnable and unacceptable.

“I call on the Federal Government to immediately put a stop to these reprehensible activities and restructure the unit to better perform its lawful duties of safe guarding the lives and property of the Nigerian people.”

Iyooooooo cartel

Sarz is a big menace to the society. A supposed body that should be responsible to help with the capture of arm robbers is now going after working boys. Even if Nigeria army starts their madness against working boys also it won't stop niggass from chasing the bigger bag and bombing all night like isis.

Until my last day I'll be bombing and hustling even on my wedding day.

Dreams of my money to be long ka achala
Everyday ejim lighter with my working tools n'esewa
Iralu ula abulo maka aloba no na nleka
Enwe ndi nwe ego nwe ndi ego Nke fa di n'ile fa
If not for street some men kali ina efo kala

Wety be the root of evil - paper
Why all man Dey hustle Dey and night - paper
Wety we go use make mama proud - paper
K'ihe eji agbalu boyeee na main man - paper

I don't just understand how we came about this buhari. Fine, some of us might have made mistakes in 2015. but reelecting this man was the biggest disaster.

A president that careless about police and illiterate sars brutality. Non of this people are Messiah but having a president that we can engage on social media for immediate action would have saved lots of lifes.

SARS is an appendage of police turned into yielding funds for ogas at the top.

Every DPO and Area Commander have their own SARS unit and there is a weekly remittance to police ogas at the top.

Good one

The end is near

Nigeria is heading for a break up

Be joyous because your freedom is nigh

I no tell you?

Take away ak47 war grade assualt riffle from them

Give them small arms like low calibre pistol, give them Barton, Kondo or Sanda, give them stun guns that is enough for normal patrol



.

The govt won't listen to these guys because they are from PDP. EndingSARS is d solution.

#wasronsars is the way

#Endsarsnow was ignored

When Saraki and Atiku were there , what did they do? Is SARS just starting this?

In saner climes, investigations are carried out before any arrests are made and even then, the courts are usually involved; here, SARS do as they please.

These complaints have been going on for a while now, these officers need to be called to order. It's annoying that young people keep complaining about the menace and nothing serious is ever done. That Minister of Youth & Sports is not a very pro-active person.

Buhari is careless of what SARS is doing to Nigerian youth, why would he care when he said youth are lazy?

apc people won't voice out ba
partisan politics one of our democracy killer

Too bad.
1 Corinthians 6:9. KJV
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, [10] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. Christ is coming soon.
Repent to avoid HELL

Sars is the worse police outfit in the whole world, Nigerian government likes anything that opresses its citizens

Anytime they killed innocent citizen that is when we always shout SARS reform.... we need police reform not only SARS...

As much as Buhari regime is a deaf and dumb government, this evil didn't start under APC, it had been like that since PDP time and they did NOTHING about it. Now they want to use it to campaign. This is just another political gimmick as far as I'm concerned, not about real change. I can't take anybody talking about reform seriously. If it's true they have gone rogue and deviated from their established functions, if the endless extra judiciary killings and assaults are all true, if we have a Gestapo style unit of police in the system, then any serious government or political aspirants should not be talking about reform. They will be talking about scrapping the Gestapo unit and prosecuting those responsible for the regular extrajudicial murder of citizens
