“SARS: Special anti robbery squad are now doing the robbery in Nigeria. SARS that were created to stop robbery are now robbing people,” says influential Twitter user, Uncle Ajala — and he’s not alone.
Thousands of Nigerians have been sharing their tales of woe and unsavoury experiences with SARS officers.
Although this is not the first time there will be a public outcry against the activities of SARS, an alleged shooting of an individual in Yaba, Lagos, has again put the matter on the front burner.
Using the hashtag #EndSARS, Nigerians have been calling on the federal government to scrap the police unit.
A petition on scrapping SARS has been addressed to the national assembly.
Published by ‘Segun Awosanya, the petition has been signed by 10,195 people at the time of this report.
While the signatures on the petition keep surging, Nigerians on social media have continued to demand an end to SARS.
