AFTER years of agonising over their brutality and killing by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, a tactical unit of the Nigeria Police formed in 1992 to fight robbery and other violent crimes, Nigerian youth organised themselves through a protest that was well co-ordinated and organised through deployment of technology, leadership and administrative sagacity.
The protest was both online and offline with thousands on ground and millions online globally holding the banner of soro soke to raise their voices against the docility of their parents who belong to the ‘off-the-microphone’ generation that allowed degeneration of the country into its comatose present.
It is now a year after that protest and we seem not to have learnt anything or nothing seemed to have improved. A few days ago, a video trending showed a police officer assaulting a passenger with what Nigerians would call ‘dirty slap’ somewhere in Kogi State. They were led by an Assistant Superintendent of Police and extorted N25, 000 from their victim.
It was when they realised he was a lawyer he was given his bag and told to go. Also, while coming back from work he was making a video of SARS officers harassing some youths and his phone was seized from behind.
