MyVILLAGEpeople:

You should have drove off but order some of your boys to come and pick them up and give them some decent training at the barracks for like a week.

Taciturn1:
Well, they usually go after younger guys.

I'm sure you know, in the end they just extort their victims(innocent or not) and release them pending the next extortion.

I've been stopped twice by SARS, they stopped me like I was a suspected armed robber, with their weapons. I felt terrorised.

i sympathise with you. but let me say i have been stopped by police checkpoints in fact just 3 weeks ago i had to give the officer 200 naira after he stopped me. no words spoken, as soon as he approached me I smiled and put the 200 in his hands and he greeted me and i drove off

Jegiosowor:
SARS harrased a Colonel?

Especially the ones that says they are federal. Very rude and disrespectful.

BlackfireX:
I see a pocket of protest here and there... Then suddenly like a whirlwind a protest that will shake the foundation of this country will erupt... By the time it ends, the wicked that have oppressed the nation and the poor will be dethroned and disgraced...


A storm is coming..

Amen
Amen
And
Amen

Incandescent:




It has not been hijacked only a little distraction

I don't know why the north is not in support of the protest

MikeMicheal:
SARS is not as bad as it is painted.

MyVILLAGEpeople:


I remember when SARS officers took me to their Hilux van and handcuffed me around March this year in Bayelsa. For over two hours I was with these guys. I was labeled a cultist because I was putting on Black on black that day. Honestly it wasn't funny at all that day. I have Never been so scared like that in my entire life, because all the sad stories I have seen and heard about SARS brutality online started going through my mind. And they were about 6 in Numbers with guns. I had to call my Uncle who is an ASP to talk to them on the phone but they refused. Luckily for me, my uncle was around that day( they thought I was lying about my uncle being an ASP). He had to drive down to the place I was with an Hilux vehicle and fortunately the SARS guy leading that patrol team was his Junior in Benin back then. He had to quickly apologize and the handcuff was removed from my hand. At this time it was already getting dark. They later laughed and gist over old memories. If not for my uncle ehhhn, those SARS guys were saying I will bring 150k before they release me or I will be transferred to the state CID for being a cultist.

My gee they can't do nothing if you don't argue, even their boss get angry when they bring some useless cases to the station.all they were doing to u was delay your till you get scared or angry then you might be willing to pay up wat they charged.The key is don't shout, don't get nervous. Just be patient then see how they will leave you after hours.

MyVILLAGEpeople:


I am telling you my sister. What if I didn't know anyone. I just thank God.

As in, wetin them for use your eyes see eh...

lekki1444:

The last person that said that was a cripple that doesn't go anywhere. SARS usually don't go to meet people in their living rooms.

This is the type of general extortion we have grown accustomed to, from customs to immigration etc. Pay to avoid due process, pay to cut corners. But SARS is just on another level.

We need widespread reforms across board.

lekki1444:
above 35

You’re among the few lucky ones.

yeah man i hear you but let me tell you something ? either way you gone pay something. The way nigerians drive like idiots if they live in a civilised country they will pay at least 500 dollars in tickets everyday. always trying to overtake dangerously and overspeeding and offensive driving, cutting people off etc. if all you have to pay is SARS every once in a while i say you are getting off very lightly. the average nigerian needs to be extorted by police because they drive like idiots. these are just my own personal opinions of course

n3xt:

well i have been stopped by real police. just not SARS

you are right!!! I mean heavy storm!!!!!. Nigeria government is creating a monster that can't be curtail that will consume them and their children. just watch out.

MikeMicheal:

WE STAND WITH SARS!

Just say, I stand with SARS, not we stand with SARS. One day you will fall in the hands of these criminals you are standing with.

chinyerefrank444:

By your name, you're one of the hijackers... Chirubbish

Your story is just like my own, only that I didn’t have an uncle who is important so I paid 200k for my freedom. My offense was they found porn on my phone so they labeled me a blackmailer.

Okuda:


stfu. nobody hijacked anything. its beyond protesting sars brutality. it has gone way past that

That was not the initial plan and you know that. But since you people have decided to exploit it to promote your futile agenda, it's only a matter of time before you are taken back to your rightful place to cool off.

“A bloody sergeant”
His mentality is evidence of the decay in the Nigerian society. He doesn’t respect sergeants.
Anyways Colonel or no Colonel, Nigerian citizens shouldn’t be harassed. His rank in the army should never matter.
