Lagos Assembly Reacts To Proscription of F-SARS, Sends Message To Buhari

The Lagos State House of Assembly has described the eventual proscription of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (F-SARS) as proof that democracy has come to stay.

The House also commended President Muhammadu Buhari for hearkening to the cries of the people and ensuring their immediate wish was met with the disbandment of the police unit.

A statement from the office of the Speaker of the House and Chairman of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, thanked those who took to the streets in Lagos State for their civility while the protests lasted.

Obasa said it was commendable that the protesters carried out their agitations with utmost respect for the authorities as well as government and residents' property and assets.

Recall that the Lagos State House of Assembly had on Friday raised a seven-point resolution one of which was that F-SARS be scrapped.

The state lawmakers had called for the introduction of a better reformed unit of the police.

They had also called on the National Assembly to immediately commence a probe into the allegation of inhuman treatments meted out to innocent Nigerians by the personnel of the police in the unit.

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, on Sunday, finally announced an end to F-SARS and added that other reforms would be announced soon.

"It is a win-win for the country and a proof that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration is prepared to listen to the yearnings of the people where it they matter.

"A special commendation goes to Nigerians who expressed their grievances peacefully for days.

"As the country awaits more police reforms as announced by the IGP, we plead with the masses to remain calm, go about their activities peacefully and continue to be good citizens of the country," the statement said.

The House also commended President Muhammadu Buhari for hearkening to the cries of the people and ensuring their immediate wish was met with the disbandment of the police unit.

God bless the brave young people that defied the odds to protest. Buhari had no choice - the protest has become a global movement.

Lol. Oga, I'm not a neophyte. There was no widespread SARS brutality in Nigeria before 2015. When did the END SARS movement began? Buhari only bowed to the global outrage. Nigeria became a trending topic on CNN. Come and see the thousands of people that showed up today here in New York. London was not even left out. Likewise Houston and other major world cities. Them no born a million Buhari well not to end SARS. Imagine world stars like Ozil, Trey Songs, Cardi B and others who already joined the movement. They bowed under intense pressure. Tuesday would have been a total shut down in Nigeria.

Karlovich:
The drunk dullard was probably not even aware of the IGP's decision so why give him credit for it. He was in Kaduna for parade while the midget was hiding in his basement.

Asides sars.. I feel Nigerians are stupid... How many of us protested againt the fuel/electricity hike

Bad governance

Corruption/embezzlement

... That aside..

The end sars protest yielded no result... Why?? Because the same elements remain police officers and will still carry out their nefarious activities as police men...


You all want to know the real demons??... Its the IGP and so many other senior officers... They give those boys demands of alarming monetary returns weekly..

They practically send them to armed robbery in the name of policing..

So until the top is tackled... Nothing changes...

Best bet is to reform the organization

Give dem a better pay package ...

And make strict laws that will make both the unscrupulous junior/senior officers dance to the tune of lawfullness

All these wicked leaders.

ILoveDemMANNA:

No matter what, wailers will always wail.
Wailing and bitterness to any good and positive news is in their blood
The midget you talked about is the Vice president of all the tall for nothing in your town .
Agoros paying homage to a midget 365 days in a year....irony of life!

Bunch of hypocrites, they are all the same ...

Meanwhile, who knew that we have always had MINISTRY OF POLICE AFFAIRS in this country
