Well you might have read or not readMy most recent article about #Endsars has been something ravaging , bring protest from 5th of October to presently has this struggle begins online, after a wide video begins on twitter about the Federal Anti Robbery Squad . Before I begin about the most recent trend of the #EndSARS and #SARSMUSTEND which has been a major trend on twitter with the former hit over 5.8million tweets on twitter. All over the world you might have come cross this or may be not well I would keep you informed
The Special Anti robbery squad was created in 1984 by military Government who once ruled Nigeria, in order to combat the increase of Armed Robbery in Nigeria. This squads is a unit under the Crime Investigation Department of the Nigerian Police force. A lot of success was attributed to this force has they had close to military training in order to combat fierce criminal of Armed Robbery syndicates, cultist , kidnapping and different organized criminal. Over time they overpower armed robbery .
In 2015, Nigerians start noticing a different aspect this officers they were seen more on rounds mounting check point which was strange, until they start extorting people and labelling individuals as criminals and cybercrime fraudster, if you are seen with devices such as laptop and co, in 2017 , the first outcry occur all in Lagos about the activity and the endsars campaign begin, by a lawyer Segun Awóníyì known as sega and twitter handle @segalink , he talk about the activity of the brute officers is they extort, illegal kidnapping without charge of suspects , and even Extra judicial killing of some of their victims. The major thing bring and it was reform to the F-SARS i.e Federal Special anti robbery squad in 2017.
This new reform worse the situation as we see more confident, looking rogue officers , who would ask for your phone, or why you carried a laptop, they clam you are into cyber fraud and demand huge sum of money, and they would say "I would shoot you " if you don't do their biddings, they even actually kill kill some who are demanding their rights or who they seems stubborn. They even detain a lot of suspects without their families been notified a lot of human right abuses .
That above tweet show how the government has tired to reform but they still harass citizens right, when they are reported to their discipline action they are only transferred from one duty post to another place. So they re not even punished after all.
Protest broke from 5th of October after a youth was killed in delta state, this protest even up today has led to lost of lives of over 10 protesters.
Names of protesters killed in during the 5 day protest.so a lot of people are so angered and people have been demanding nation wide.
Well the police inspector general announce the dissolution but people are not backing down . People are still pretesting because they believe bthe police and government bare not being sincere with the overhauling.
Some one shot, well the protest has not ceased as people want demand to be met as their want total reforming of the police.
Now the protest is really getting bloody as both police and members of the public has been having a lot of injuries, well am sorry for all those gorey photos, please I don't want to share videos here also. There are reports also from every high profiling news outlets, like CNN , Al Jazeera , times videos on YouTubes . There are many of trends on twitter regarding this matters as the cases may be but presently the #endsars and the #sarsmustend are the most trend. Well I will keep this article updated as trends unfold , it just unfortunate that police brutality is more brutal in Nigeria than every where else. We continue to express our self through peaceful protest and prayerswalk. People this unit tag as criminals are , crypto traders, when you use iPhones, when you make dreadlocks, when you dress expensive, when you use a car, they extort and we want all this to end in Nigeria.
