Sara's are not our problem. Senators, legislatures, politician and judges are. Buhari failed to fire IG for failure the police or Sars get the blame.
The police is supposed to have an internal affairs officers that travel around monitoring the conducts and activities of the police, you don't need a genius to figure that out.

The IG failed to do that and the foolish president refuses to fire the incompetent IG both are incompetent obviously.
The president is our problem not the Sars, because if the president was firing IGs they would sit up. This government continue to reward failure, we have another clueless president in Buhari.
