SARS is the most unprofessional team of the Nigerian police.
Here's my experience as a Nigerian Soldier.
Earlier this year the commercial bus I boarded in Enugu along 9th mile area was stopped by SARS operatives mounting an illegal check point. thread #EndSARS— Gunzify???? (@007Soja) December 14, 2019
Yet Govt fails to understand why we demanded for #EndSARS. You can not militarize the Police and jettison the protection of life and property without making the people the enemy of the state in the hands of armed, sub-trained men without a hope for the future. #EndImpunity
