fratermathy:


You have made intelligent points and I agree with you on many of them. However, my problem with SARS is that the officers clearly lack professionalism. They treat everyone they see as a potential criminal and they profile you based on subjective parameters. I'm a young lecturer and I have been harassed several times by SARS officers just because I'm young, drive a car, and look neat. I usually have to show them my ID card before I am let off the hook. In one or two cases, the SARS officer completely ignored my ID and proceeded to harass me. I vehemently refused them from searching my phone and I threatened fire and brimstone on them. I could only do that because it was a public place and I know my rights. The average Nigerian youth has been psychologically oriented to fear armed officers and the officers take advantage of this. Imagine what the trigger happy officers would do if I had demanded my rights in a secluded location? Tales and facts abound of how SARS officers have killed, maimed and tortured innocent people who dared to ask simple questions.

I do not personally advocate for the end of SARS because that won't change a thing. Other police officers will just take their place. I want a situation where the SARS officers can be held accountable. We may have to start the use of body cameras, location tracking, retraining, psychological evaluation and routine substance abuse tests. SARS officers should be placed within a clear structure in which someone is accountable for their actions. If a squad messes up, their leader or the zonal leader should be arrested and made to produce the squad. The officers should also be prevented from stopping cars or blocking roads. They can do their jobs more effectively as patrol teams. Investigations should be done in collaboration with non-SARS officers who would check for human rights violation.

The point I'm making is that SARS, and indeed the entire police force, has to be overhauled and rebranded for contemporary needs and with contemporary technology and developments. The police still has a colonial mentality and until that changes, all the noise we are making will amount to nothing.

I'm deeply sorry for your experience. I am also for total rebranding of that unit of the Nigerian Police Force.
My post that directly follows the one you quoted talks about profiling. It happens in all Countries where a certain crime is dominant. If cybercrime is flushed out, Law enforcement officers would lack reasons for suspicion of innocent members of the society like you.

[quote author=Openbusiness post=94761723]The IGP is absolutely right about this. People need to calm down and stop supporting violence against police or killing police. This can never be the solution. Bad as he bad reach with NPF, if Nigeria Police officers don't work for 1 week, if they withdraw their services for just one week, will we know the real meaning of terror in our societies. There are evil people all around us in society. There are so many hardened evil wicked criminals in Nigerian society and we need police officers to tame the evil in society. Even if you think police is evil, then try to see them as a necessary evil because we still need them around].

Post like this justify why akwa ibom/calabar indigines kill criminals caught. If we leave in fear even when police is around then their existence is not wanted.
Communities will do better even without police bro.
Society created the police and not the other way round.

Ok, so why did people make Police to police their societies if they are not necessary? Do you know how many people get attacked in their homes by violent criminals and armed robbers, people that got killed on highway trafffic robberies, men that have suffered disability from attacks, women that have been raped and killed? We just saw the news of the young lawyer, a girl barely in her 20's , she already has the horrific experience of being kidnapped by hardened criminals. Fortunately she was rescued, were you the one that went to rescue her, was it not police? She said her kidnappers were even planning to kill her that day. Do you know how many unfortunate victims have been wasted like that? And then you say we don't need police. Are you ready to patrol our society yourself and engage armed robbers that prowl around in shootouts? Smh!

Attacking policemen will not end sars or change the situation. Sensible protests, engagement and demands with authority will.

Peaceful protests is the way. Don't let violent criminals and armed robbers hijack the movement. Let me just stop here.

Withdraw their services; if I got u right?

The truth is that the rot we are pointing to in the police force is an indirect indicator of the rot in homes and society at large.
If they withdraw their services just as you pointed out, they too will also bear the consequence: they are not immured.

ENDSARS PROTESTERS GO BERSERK - MURDER 1 POLICEMAN, INJURE ANOTHER IN DELTA, STEAL AK47 RIFLE WITH 25 ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION
· ​ IGP calls for an end to violence against Law Enforcement Officers

The Inspector General of Police, IGP M.A Adamu, NPM, mni has condemned the unprovoked and violent attack on policemen and damage to police operational vehicles and other assets by ENDSARS protesters in Ughelli, Delta State, on Thursday, 8th October, 2020.

The incident which resulted in the unfortunate death of one Police officer, Corporal Etaga Stanley attached to ‘A’ Division, Ughelli, Delta State who was attacked and brutally murdered by the protesters also left another, Sergeant Patrick Okuone with serious body injury sustained from gunshot by the protesters. The protesters also carted away one (1) service AK47 rifle with breach no 56-2609008 and 25 rounds of live ammunition that was with the deceased at the time of the incident.

The IGP, who described the incident as cruel and unwarranted, has warned that the Force will no longer tolerate any attack on its personnel or any member of the law enforcement community by any individual or group protesting under any guise.

The IGP notes that protest by citizens remain a legitimate means for airing their concerns and views. It must however be carried out with all sense of responsibility and within the confines of the law.

The IGP, while condoling the family and friends of the late Corporal Etaga Stanley who paid the supreme price in the service of our dear nation, equally commended the officers of the Delta State Police Command for exercising restraint in the face of the immoral and unjustified provocation

Meanwhile, the IGP has directed the Commissioner of Police, Delta State to carry out a discrete investigation into the unfortunate incident, root-out the perpetrators and bring the killer protesters to book.

Nobody said they won't bear the effects, that's not the context of discussion. The economy is bad, don't they suffer it too? The government is corrupt, are they immune from the effects? Police are human beings too with family and friends living among us, so of course if there's insecurity, they will suffer it too. Do you know how many police officers get killed by criminals both on duty or off duty? Wicked evil criminals don't care about who's police or civilian.

Whether we like it or not, police is a requirement to maintain law and order in human society, not just our own alone, every society in the world has police because there are evil wicked heartless people everywhere. Even with Nigerian police on duty, don't bank robberies still happen? Home robberies, kidnapping, assassination, you have bandits raiding towns killing hundreds of people, you have killer herdsmen marauding villages and leaving carnage and destruction behind. These are all internal threats, not even foreign attackers. So police is a vital organ of any society.

SARS should be scrapped, that's what I think as a personal opinion. But does it mean that after scrapping SARS we won't have another anti-robbery police unit again? Of course we will and we must. Because we still have violent evil armed robbers all around society and so having an anti-robbery police unit is inevitable. So violently attacking or killing police is not the solution to the problem. The problem stems from an institutional crisis, it is a systemic problem.

So, if I were to advice the Buhari and the IGP, I will say scrap the current unit, because they have gone rogue, turned themselves to Gestapo units for too long. It will be very hard to reform that. Because once you go dark like that, there's really no turning back. So they should be scrapped. And investigated and the guilty officers should be prosecuted and punished by govt according to the law, not jungle justice. Then the IGP should set up a new team from any new set of highly trained officers in anti-robbery operations, then set up a better institution of operations, better guidelines and better rules of engagement and limit them to their scope of anti-robbery only.

Let the other anti-fraud police units like EFCC, ICPC, SFU etc go after yahoo boys and fraudsters. And even still, set up better rules of engagement for dealing with public for all of them, all the force units that deal with the public both publicly and inside the station. PROBLEM SOLVED! That's the kind of solutions and ideas people should be bringing up, not kill SARS. Killing police men is not and can never be the solution.
