Kate Osamor, a member of the United Kingdom parliament, has asked the country to reconsider funding for some Nigerian security agencies she described as “corrupt”.

Speaking at the parliament’s debate on the #EndSARS crisis, the MP said the government should instead focus on poverty alleviation programmes.

She specifically kicked against the UK-funded training for former operatives of the disbanded special anti-robbery squad (SARS) which she said went on despite previous indictments of the squad.

TheCable had reported that the UK trained SARS personnel for four years through the CSSF-funded Nigeria Policing Programme, which ended in March 2020.

Describing the #EndSARS crisis as “regrettably serious”, Osamor said the UK must look beyond sanctioning the Nigerian government for alleged abuses and pay closer attention to its funding for certain programmes.

“Today, we need to consider how the government responds to both the movement itself and the violent actions of the Nigerian regime,” she said.

“We must also take this opportunity to look beyond sanctions into how development funding is spent in Nigeria.

“Instead of funding corrupt security agencies and investing in projects which do not benefit ordinary Nigerians, we need a new focus on poverty relief and anti-corruption programmes.

“At the very moment in which Amnesty International had declared SARS units to have been involved in extra-judicial killings, corruption and torture, the government was using the budget to train and equip those units.”

Initially I wanted a Canadian visa thinking Canadian got enough balls to always deal with our corrupt politicians but right now am beginning to feel UK is the boss

We'll have to stop funding all the Nigerian security agencies because they're all corrupt..

See her mouth as if Nigerian security agencies get things from them for free

In total support. Any money coming into this gadded country gets looted. Nothing works here to benefit the common man

It is just getting hotter and messier for all the perpetrators of lawlessness,brutality and injustice.This does not in any way exonerate Britain for foisting this failed contraption of a nation on Nigerians.

We need more of these conversations in the international community. Kudos to Nigerian youths!

They must get sense by force.

So now Nigerian security will die abi?

We overate these people.

Africans are still suffering from slavery mentality, always thinking the West has solutions to our problems.
Shameless

UK is one the enablers of the many evils in this country and even this much was demonstrated by the lopsided reporting of #Endsars youth unrest by the BBC.

I'm waiting for the US because na their own I dey like pass.

Buhari intergrity is on the balance as we speak.

Security agencies like Army and police

thank you

Our government needs more pressure from the international community for them to sit up. Imagine being funded to fight security, but nothing to show forth. Kidnapping in the south, banditry and killings in the north, police and military offices killing civilians, so what exactly is the Govt fighting?

Overated country.

Let them deal with the corruption happening in their own country
