REPORT ANY SARS OFFICER's WRONGDOING, HERE ARE THE NUMBERS TO CALL
By:Jumoke Olasoji
It is no longer news that the
Police Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) has been in the news for all the wrong
reasons for some time now.
This resulted in a social media campaign with the
hashtag #EndSARS that started and went viral in December of 2017. The hashtag provided an avenue
for young Nigerians to table their complaints against a police unit that has
become famous for its brutality, extortion and profiling.
Police boss Ibrahim Idris promised
reforms after the social media campaign, but Nigerians say the promised
reforms haven’t changed a thing about SARS and its modus operandi.
More and more people have been using
the #EndSARS hashtag recently to detail coercion and brutality at the hands of
a police unit that was formed to specifically deal with armed robbers.
Through its Twitter handle
@PoliceNG, the Nigeria police has just made public a few numbers for complaints
bordering on the excesses of SARS operatives.
According to the police,
