UK Lawmaker Writes Dominic Raab Over Financial Support To SARS by boman2014: 2:08pm On Oct 16, 2020
A member of the UK Parliament, Kate
Osamor, has written the Secretary of State
for Foreign , Commonwealth and
Development Affairs, Dominic Raab over
financial and training supports extended to
the disbanded Special Anti -Robbery Squad
of the Nigeria Police Force .

In a letter dated October 15, 2020 obtained
by The PUNCH , Osamor, who represents
Edmonton, questioned the rationale behind
the funding of the dreaded SARS .

This is coming amid days of unending
demonstrations by #EndSARS
protesters , demanding a total overhaul of
the Nigerian Police and an end to
extrajudicial killings by men of the now-
disbanded SARS .

The protests have intensified despite the
disbanding of the police unit and the
announcement of the Special Weapons and
Tactics to replace the defunct unit.

The protests, which have been held in
major cities across the country , have caused
heavy traffic and affected economic
activities .

Osamor, who is also the Chair of the All -
Party Parliamentary Group on Nigeria ,
stated that the now -defunct police unit has
been involved in no fewer than 82 cases of
torture, ill- treatment and extra- judicial
killings since January 2017 .

Her letter read, “ I ’ m writing as a member
of the International Development Select
Committee and Chair of the Nigeria APPG to
ask for some clarification regarding the
Conflict, Stability and Security Fund project
in Nigeria which is aimed at ‘ increasing
the capacity of Nigerian kidnap units to
deliver anti -kidnap and kidnap response
capacity ’ .

“I ’ m sure you will be aware of the recent
protests against Nigeria ’ s Special Anti-
Robbery Squad ( SARS ) , which has been
involved in at least 82 cases of torture, ill-
treatment and extra- judicial execution since
January 2017 .

“Given these concerns and concerns
generally with the nature of corruption and
brutality in Nigerian law enforcement, it is
obviously extremely important that no UK
development spending finds its way into the
pockets of groups within Nigeria who are
guilty of such crimes.

Dear Pa Buhari,

They have asked that the Queen must not give money to Nigeria again. See what #EndSARS is causing now

Sir, as a 'urgency of matter', consider Executive Orders for the foolowing
1. DISCOS to provide 24 hours electricity, so that lazy Nigerian Youths will go home to watch TV
2. DSTV to cut down the bouquet price so all football matches can show for as low as 2,500
3. Ask Glo to make 1GB N100

If these three are done, if you see any youth OUTSIDE at all it must be that they are going to their girlfriend, and we can ask Hisbah to catch them.
Sir, if these simple things are done, Kai Lekki Freedom Gate will be empty by this evening. Walahi

Jummah mubarak Papa.
