If Those Who Championed The #EndSars Protest Were Patriot As Claimed And Interested In A New Nigeria, Their Interest Would Be Justice For Slain Nigerians and For Peter Obi To Be Prosecuted.



I was never part of the #Endsars protesters because, like many Nigerians, we knew it had a political undertone which is today becoming manifest.

Those who conceived the protest early on were sincere in their demands for the Nigerian police to be reformed and bad eggs who tarnish the image and character of the police force, particularly the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), to be purged; however, their idea did not see the light of day because a few political elements hijacked it to make us believe that they were actually protesting against police brutality and extra-judicial killings, which was synonymous with SARS.

The protest had listed out its demands, which were the arrest, trials, and prosecution of erring police officers and their accomplices; reform of the police force; and the disbanding of SARS.

Expectedly, those who hijacked the protest and used it to unleash carnage in the country have all shown their true traits and motives behind the protest as they now support one of the major sponsors of SARS in Nigeria to become their President, although not that of entire Nigerians.

If those who championed the ENDSARS protest were truly sincere in their demand for justice for those who were unjustly killed by the defunct SARS, they would be on the streets and in Twitter space, demanding the trial and prosecution of Mr. Peter Obi, not some inconsequential million man-march.

It’s hypocritical to have sought justice for victims of SARS extra-judicial killings in Nigeria and yet recognize their killers as heroes. What sort of hero, please?

The heinous activities of SARS in Nigeria cannot be adequately described or concluded without mentioning the role of one James Nwafor, who was in charge of Awkuzu SARS when Peter Obi was governor of Anambra State.

It’s still on record that Peter Obi used the Awkuzu SARS and CP James Nwafor, who later became his aide on security, to send hundreds of Igbo youths to an early grave without consent of the laws or trials.

The records are still available on how mysterious dead bodies were found on the banks of the Ezu and Amansea Rivers and were reportedly killed and dumped by SARS officers on the orders of Peter Obi and supervised by James Nwafor, his man Friday.

Tales abound of the political intimidation by the SARS Awkuzu of political opponents of Peter Obi in Anambra State whilst he was still the Governor.

It is sad enough that when the federal government hearkened to the call of the EndSars protesters to set up judicial panels across states, Peter Obi approached a court of law for an order for him and James Nwafor not to be tried, and till date, that order still subsists.

If EndSars was truly for justice for innocent Nigerians killed and abused by SARS, Peter Obi should be facing charges and a possible prison sentence, not running for President. But unfortunately, the EndSars were for political reasons and not necessarily for justice.

Ezu and Amansea Victims still cries for justice.

If you cannot make sense out of his article crying for justice, then sorry it is your brain and conscience that is totally wrecked.

If protest is a crime then Buhari should be in a jail!
