This is not the first time the call against police brutality is coming up in Nigeria. It has always been a problem Nigerians, for a long time, have hoped that the Federal government will adequately tackle but the opposite has been the case until recently.
Chaimaka Okafor, a feminist and youth leader based in Abuja said SARS operatives are the major focus due to their history of endless brutalities. “It doesn’t end there. The SARS operatives who are expected to be disciplined, have made mockery of the force for contributing to social vices ranging from extortion, stealing money and property. They’re now known as “Special Armed Robbery Squad”, for being what they’re not meant to be.”
“In the case of SARS, the operatives have already outlived their relevance considering the manner with which they carry out their mandates. They have turned the whole system into an extortionist one where wrong people are being apprehended, exploited and manhandled unjustly while the crimes they are meant to fight against are left unattended to. ”
“SARS has the major victims because of their involvement in civil matters. People use SARS to settle conflicts. Other units work in ghost mode and are not really known to people but the quest for money mostly through frauds and all sort of illegalities made people to place premium attention on SARS. Do you know that yahoo boys also use SARS to harass themselves?”
