Kolade Johnson was a young man who like others had come out to visit the football viewing centre or just enjoy the cool evening breeze when his life was cut short by a bullet from Olalekan Ogunyemi a Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) operative in the Mangoro / Onipetesi area of Lagos on Sunday 31st March 2019.

The incident raised so much call for this Police unit to be reformed or better still, scrapped.

To a large extent one can say this was the beginning of the current call to end SARS and put a stop to Police brutality. For several weeks Nigerians sought to know how the relevant authorities will handle it. It took the visit of the Lagos state commissioner of Police and arrest of the officers involved to pacify the already embittered public.

Although there were several cases such as that of Kolade before the sad event happened, sadly there have also been several other cases after then. More evidences have constantly been dug out relating to how Nigerians, especially the young folks are reportedly slain at the slightest instance by men of the Nigeria Police.

The last straw which broke the camel’s back and was the detonator was the reported gruesome murder of a young man in Ughelli Delta state by the dreaded Police arm, SARS. Shortly afterwards Nigerian youths have taken to the streets in their thousands in major cities around the country to demand the immediate dissolution of the unit in what is now known as the #EndSARS protest.
