Power to the protest, now let's hit Aso rock to drag the old laughing fool out.

bigotry don finish your brain!

It seems a lot of Southerners want to turn the issue of #EnSARS into a tribal war; Profiling thugs as Hausa

the same way SARS does to them as Yahoo boys when seen with expensive cars & phones.

You people are imitating that same problem you are fighting!

Ipobs are now using every little opportunity to instigate hatred and division among Nigerian youths...

Cos their only aim and agenda is for Nigeria to fail!

Even if we must divide...lets renegotiate our unity.

Ipobs are just pushing for a war that will consume thousands of innocent souls!

Let's unite and fight for a better Nigeria... With unity we can revolt!

Whitout unity.... We can't change the current system!

Where are those bigots?

You want a united youth against impunity, but you tag thugs that purportedly attacked you in Abuja as Hausa/Fulani thugs and those that allegedly attacked you in Lagos as just thugs.

Know what? You are the problem of Nigeria.

Ok

Fake news!! Stop spreading fake news!

Boko Haram: Group condemns call for redeployment of defunct SARS operatives to Borno 

The Arewa Citizens for Peace (ACP) has condemned the call for the redeployment of operatives of the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) to the North-East to fight Boko Haram terrorists, describing it as "misplaced, senseless and capable of throwing the country into turmoil". 

While welcoming the disbandment of the anti-robbery unit of the Police, the ACP noted that such a move is capable of worsening the security situation in the country.

Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, had on Tuesday, announced the creation of Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team to replace the SARS unit. 

The IGP assured that operatives of the defunct anti-robbery squad will not be part of the new formation as they will be redeployed into mainstream policing duties.

Some Nigerians, though, have maintained that the officers be sent to the North-East. 

However, in a statement signed by its National President, Comrade Nazir Ibrahim, on Wednesday, the Arewa group said SARS operatives were not trained for warfare and if deployed may ultimately turn against Nigerians they are supposed to protect. 

"The Arewa Citizens for Peace (ACP) is pleased with the dissolution of the erstwhile Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) across the country over the high handedness and right abuses by the policemen that operated under the squad. We are however appalled by the misguided calls for deploying the personnel of the defunct SARS to fight Boko Haram in the northeast of the country," Comrade Ibrahim said. 

"It is our view that the calls are misplaced, senseless and capable of throwing the country into turmoil by further worsening the security situation that has so far been creatively managed in the face of the diverse factors militating against peace and security in Nigeria. Those came up with the har-brained idea failed to properly evaluate the situation. The calls by some disgruntled individuals and elements are therefore totally misplaced, unacceptable and in bad light. 

"They failed to realize that the SARS operatives were not trained in warfare but in policing with specific focus on taking on armed robbers and violent crime, an assignment they failed in and rather diverted to exploiting the youth under the guise of going after cyber criminals. Deploying these same persons to fight Boko Haram will see them again turn their weapons on the Nigerians they are paid to protect. Even the Counter-Terrorism Unit (CTU) of the Nigeria Police Force has not been deployed to fight Boko Haram in the north east so there is no point sending in personnel that have been relieved of their assignment in disgrace.

"ACP is worried that those making these calls have forgotten so soon that the Nigerian Army would not have been deployed to clean up the mess created in some parts of the country owing to the failure of civil policing that SARS was part of. Had SARS been able to deal with the problem of banditry, killer herdsmen and kidnappers as envisaged for its role then the Army would not have been stretched thin by deploying to areas that have these violent crimes.

"While sending the ex-SARS operatives, as damaged goods, to die at the hands of Boko Haram may appear like an attractive or workable option, the potential downsides are too high and they pose risks that the country can ill afford". 

According to the ACP, the intensity of the battles waged by the Army against Boko Haram in the North-East is such that operatives of the defunct SARS will simply desert if they were assigned to fight the anti-terrorism war. 

It reasoned that since these operatives will flee the battleground with their weapons and would be unable to return to their organizations, Nigeria will be flooded with armed and trained killers who will end up becoming the new criminals that the system must deal with.

Ibrahim added: "Even in instances where the military handed liberated areas to the Police to resume normal civil policing, the areas usually get infested with Boko Haram in the shortest time possible even with the defunct SARS being active at those times. There is therefore more than enough evidence to prove that there is no unit of the police that is well suited for fighting Boko Haram terrorists. 

"We restate that the genuine concerns raised by all Nigerians for enduring reforms in the Nigeria Police Force should not be trivialized or converted into a farce by throwing up puerile suggestions like asking the rested SARS operative be drafted to fight Boko Haram. We believe there should be an independent panel of inquiry that hear testimonies of those that have documented instances of SARS abuse and brutality so that culpable operatives of the disgraceful institution would be held to account. This would go a long way in bringing closure to individuals and families while also serving as a warning to law enforcement agents that their position should not be abused"

The ACP, however, urged the Nigerian Army to continue excelling at what it does and not be drawn into the distraction constituted by these calls for the posting of the personnel of the defunct SARS to any part of north-east, especially Borno State in the name of fighting insurgency.

The group warned those behind the ill-informed call to desist from such going forward.

fake news!

SilverNorGold:
Thank you, the people's governor. At least, the wailers always attacking me, calling me a hypocrite, will begin to have a rethink, now a notable and highly revered governor has said it..

SARS is not totally useless to most of us. We acknowledge its importance here, that's why we are calling for its reform and not outright ban.

But some self-centered enemies of state called me all manner of names for fighting for what is right. For speaking the truth.

Other notable compatriots attacked are: Arrewa, ILoveDemManna, and other well-meaning Nigerians.

We don't hate anyone. We are not countering anyone. All we are asking for is that SARS should not be outlawed. Instead, it should be reformed or at least, deployed to the Northern region where its helping significantly in the fight against terror.

I wish our brothers can understand, but sadly, we are being called the villains.

But God will vindicate us.. God knows we mean well for Nigeria.

God bless us all.

God bless you brother in struggle!

helinues:
Hatred for North? What have you been drinking lately?

Are you saying you are in support of the attack on peaceful protesters?

Try and be coherent and safe your emotional opinion

if not a Potential bigot that you are... Why do you have to bring the north into this?? If not for the deep hatred you have for the north?

Protesters were attacked by thugs, instead of condemning the attack... You are already bringing the north into it

SilverNorGold:
My brother, I honestly do not understand why some members here dislike Northerners.. Northerners are not asking government to impose SARS on the Southerners. What Northerners are asking for is that SARS should be reformed or at least, not be totally disbanded from the North because of their significant contribution to the security of their region, which is right.

Not all SARS officers are bad. SARS itself is an essential part of the Nigerian force. Their functions cannot be ended. Let's be honest with ourselves.

The least the government can do is REFORM it, which it has done.. And still doing..

Please let's try to understand others.

God bless us all.

every bigot is just trying to use this as opportunity to instigate and cause division.

There are people who are just here to cause division... So they turn every pressing issues to south Vs north banter

helinues:
Don Allah, be coherent this time

free your mind from hatred!

We don't even know if you exist!

See who's saying that northerners are deceiving each other.

helinues:
Awon clowns.

Ask them to protest against BH or bandit killings and see them changing tones.

Let the Northerners continue deceiving themselves

your hatred for the north is political.

I know the reason why suddenly have strong hatred for the north.

And I want you to maintain that hatred... Keep hating... Keep the hatred coming!

You have already come under conclusion that the paid thugs that attacked the peaceful protesters are northerners.

Bloody hypocrites!

You are worse than those ipobs you do attack on daily basis!

Righteousness89:
My Brother! You know what Amazes me about u?
How you Follow someone who does not make sense From Bumper to Bumper!

I Don't wanna Believe SARS has dealt with you..

Don't you think it's High time you get a Check up?

stop replying senseless trolls

protests:
It was more than these. You can get the video of this attack too and upload so you can share here. I hope this gets to the frontpage.

Now we see who #KillerHerdsmen are and where they are from. We can deduce that whoever hired these ones is also the boss of #Killerherdsmen.

what has herdsmen got to do with thugs attacking peaceful protesters?

Nairaland bigots can't just wait for any opportunity to instigate hatred.

Everything to them is about the north fighting the south.

Everything to them is about North vs South.

We have made our postion clear...

End Sars in the south and bring them to north.

Now protesters were attacked by thugs... They want to make it look like the north against the south scenario.

Nairaland is now filled with brainless bigots that supposed to be on facebook.

Even if you want to be a bigot... Do your bigotry intelligently naw

sbaks:
