Despite the recent reforms announced by the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, some youths in Lagos, Wednesday, took to the streets of Lagos to register their grouse against incessant acts of brutality, extortion and even extra-judicial killings, perpetuated by the Special Anti Robbery Squad .
With placards bearing inscriptions like “Am I the next to die”, “Stop Police Brutality”, “Why shoot bullets at us”, “I am not a criminal #EndSARS”, “Our lives matter”, “Stop criminalising innocent citizens”, “Stop extorting and killing us”, the protesters took to the streets of Lagos. On getting to the command, their demands to meet the Commissioner of Police, Lagos Command, CP Hakeem Odumosu, proved abortive, yet the protesters didn’t give up, as they all sat on the ground of the road leading to the command headquarters.
In their demands as articulated by Citizens Gavel Foundation against Social Justice, they lamented that despite several reforms announced by the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, cases of abuse of citizens by SARS had increased without any step taken by the police hierarchy to address the fundamental problem of impunity of the operatives.
A word to the wise is enough! Last time, one Lagosian regretted joining Sowore's protest.
