You should be ashamed of yourself because you have lost touch with the reality of the average Nigerian youth. I’ve seen cases where innocent young Nigerians(first class university products, business owners etc) with nothing incriminating in their phones were threatened to be killed by SARS operatives if they don't pay for their release. These innocent folks were randomly stopped and were accused of being criminals and were threatened to be killed if they refuse to pay them.

Think about it. What does arresting(abducting) innocent people at gunpoint, forcing them to ATM units to withdraw all the money in their accounts for you; have to do with fighting crime?

If they are truly criminals, why not have them write a statement and take them to court? Why shoot them or force them to pay through their nose?

COMMON!!!

I used to say the same until I missed my flight from Lagos to Asaba and decided to fly to Benin and taxi to Asaba. Landed safely in Benin and took an airport taxi, withdrew some cash to settle the cab guy and we moved. On ascending that slope as we were leaving Benin, we met SARS and they searched us. Saw the cash with me - 30k in total(15k for the cab guy, 15k for me) - they insisted I must divide the money in two and give them half. I asked them " why should I give you the money when I have not committed any offence?". They said "we would keep searching your bag until we find something". Mind you, my bag went through more than one scanning machines at Lagos airport.

Those guys searched my bag for more than 7 rounds, still nothing. We were there for more than an hour. They kept insisting that I gave them the money they asked for. They looked nothing like policemen - just their guns with a jacket written 'F-SARS". Heavily bearded guys with tattoos and big biceps. Their vehicle with no reg number was hidden in the bush off the road. The cab guy begged me after pleading with them severally and showing them his airport taxi association identification - to give them the money because it was getting late and that those people could kill both of us and throw us into that river with nobody knowing once it got dark. I had to tow the path of reasoning with the cab guy and gave them the money.

It was then that one of them said to me " you are lucky you cooperated, na for that river fish for chop una body". I had cold chills on hearing that.

I am a legit cooperate hustler. That trip was a company business trip. I had all my means of identification - drivers' license, voter's card(orginal copy), International passport and company ID's, HMO and induction cards. All authentic.

Just imagine.

You have not seen anything yet. The Revolution has started and it started in the most unlikely of ways. Can't believe it's happening in our time.

President Mohammadu Buhari is a leader that cares about the wellbeing of Nigerians. He doesn't want anyone hurt, that's why he's yet to use force on the hoodlums.. But I think he may be left with no option but to do as you've rightly suggested f those hoodlums continue to overstretch their luck.

Nigeria go better
If the President does what you have just trashed out he should be ready to be rebuked nationwide and worldwide,l hope you know that Nigeria is a democratic state and the citizens have the rights to protest against any issues affecting their well being and also a state of apathy can happen because such despotic act will trigger the fight and support nationwide for secession that the separatists have calling for....

undecided undecided undecided This is why I want the FG to stop these hoodlums quick. The aftermath of revolution is usually worst, The french revolution aftermath brought about the rise of an absolute dictator, Napoleon Bonaparte, the Russian Revolution give rise to men like Vladimir Lennin and Joseph Stalin,the Fascists revolution in italy gave rise to a dictator called Benito Mussolini.
History has shown that aftermath of revolution is usually worse.

baba, we all want the same thing. ive had a gun pointed at me once, but we must also reason without sentiments.
would govt sack all sars officials? hell no! no amount of protest would make that happen...thats the bitter truth.

now that sars has been cancelled, those same officials can still carry out their notorious acts under another department of the police.
abi what other "END" to sars do you want after what has been announced?

the best is for the reformation of the entire police force.

They should investigate and try some of the SARS operatives...

Not one SARS operative has been tried in court...not one

Ending Sars is not really the issue here..More needs to be done, like

Getting corrupt political elites out
Reforming the police
Prosecuting corrupt politicans

This should be the end game of the protest and it should culminate into massive turnout to vote in 2023 especially at ward and state levels by every eligible voter both young and old. We need a total overhaul of NIGERIA. Things can’t continue this way, we need to prove to these recycled leaders that they are expired and they should retire. That’s just my one cent

How do you know I was not one of the few people that came out to protest the hike in the toll a while back at the Lekki/ Ikoyi bridge? The turn out was ridiculously low, yet we all pay the toll.

they are paying lip service to the whole thing, they have been talking about reforms since 2016! I am fed up! FSARs is a state sponsored kidnapping/extortion syndicate. I do a legitimate job but i always have to delete my bank alerts because of these rogues. I have been harassed/beaten,dragged out of an uber and even had my car shot at by these animals. There’s zero accountability! The last resort for me if this fails is to leave the country permanently.

I don't even get the logic. How does toll relate to SARS? One affects people across the different states and has led to loss of lives, the other is located in a single state. These are 2 different issues.
