It's a sad thing that the police, army and civilian have the same enemy, the government.
@PoliceNG, @HQNigerianArmy, The government puts you on the streets, risk your life to kill your sons, daughters, brothers and sisters.
They pinned you against the people you swore to protect(your families), while you kill another colleague's sons and daughters, your colleague is also onto yours and if not your colleagues then the mob.
It may seem to u that u are following orders but orders are not valid when it's against code of conduct, orders are not valid when it turns u against ur families, orders are not valid when it turns u against ur country and let me remind u, ur obligation is to d ppl and not d govt

Part 1 -In the early hours of Nov 27 2012, Lucky John, husband to a certain Folake, father of four children, left his home. His mission was to go about his regular job as a commercial bus driver plying the Igando/Mile 2 route in Lagos to make a living. He never returned. #EndSARS
The next day, his worried wife, accompanied by his mother commenced a search for him. After looking in all the likely places, including hospitals and mortuaries, without results, they reported the case to the Igando Police station.
On 29 Dec. an anonymous call to Folake said that Lucky was being held by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a division of the @PoliceNG. When relatives went to SARS, the Investigating Police Officer (IPO) in charge of the case confirmed that Lucky was in their custody.

I came across some protesters called the “Indigenous people of the FCT” along area 11, at Louis Edet House this morning protesting against the #EndSARS protesters blockage of major roads across the FCT, Abuja.
A friend told me that Yunusa Ahmadu Yusuf is their spokesperson’s name. Yunusa said him and his fellow indigenous people of the FCT will engage the #EndSARS protesters if they continue to block major roads in the FCT, Abuja.
Watch and Listen to the President of the Indigenous people of FCT during the presentation of their letter to the IG of Police, Muhammadu Adamu, represented by the DIG of Police, Leye Oyebade. #EndSARSBrutality #EndSARS

#My personal encounter with SARs.

could swerve, they ran into the side of my car and broke the side mirror and drove off. I stopped in the middle of the road trying to process how law enforcement agents could be so unruly, inconsiderate and foolish. (Note, they were not in pursuit of any offender. They pulled

out because traffic wasn't moving at their pace.)

Now, backbl to my encounter...Before, I could finish processing what just happened, I saw them right in front of my car with guns corked. Two of them alighted from their vehicle racing towards my car and, suddenly slowed down

Brands/Companies That Should Join The #EndSARS Movement

Most if not all victims of SARS' brutality are usually detained, tortured and even killed because they own and drive these following brands of devices or car:

#EndSarsNow #EndPoliceBrutality #EndSARSBrutality
1. @Apple

A lot of Nigerians (2.4 million Nigerians use an iPhone) own an Apple product (iPhones and MacBooks), not joining/supporting the #EndSARS movement now could derail the company's future plan of capturing more chunk of the country's smartphone market.

#EndSarsNow
2. All Laptop Brands

Most young laptop (insert all the popular laptop brands here ____) carrying Nigerians have been a victim of high handedness by these scantily dressed official criminals...

December 24th, 2019, I was detained by one officer called Julius in oshogbo, oke fia police station.
It started when his boys flagged my car down and asked me who owns the car, I said me. All he said was let’s go to the station, he entered the car.
On our way going, I wanted to call my lawyer but he took the phone from me angrily. I was driving confidently since I knew I have nothing incriminating with me. I got to their office in oke-fia and I was taken to his boss, Julius.
The policeman that stopped me said oga Julius this is one yahoo boy we caught on our way going to the place you sent us, that was when I knew his name is Julius. I was standing and wondering who’s the yahoo boy his saying because am the only one with him in Julius office.#EndSARS

Open letter to Mr Fashola AbdulAzeez A.K.A @officialnairam1

#EndSarsProtests #EndSARSBrutality
Fashola AbdulHafeez, @officialnairam1 look at all the faces in this attached picture very well. Every of them were important to their family & friends. If at all a person is destined to live a short while at least their death shouldn't come in a gruesome manner. Image
@officialnairam1 These youngsters were not only killed by the irresponsibility of the Nigeria Police @PoliceNG & Nigeria Government @NigeriaGov ; but people who knew, loved & cherished them were also thrown into forever sorrows. Image

HOW TO END SARS BRUTALITY IN NIGERIA?

In one of his speeches in Detroit, in 1963, El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz aka Malcolm X (May 19, 1925- Feb 21, 1965) said: "Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery." Image
2/ For the umpteenth time, I'll be baring my mind on demonic issues of Police Brutality, Extortions & Killings, perpetrated against hardworking Nigerians, by
countless rogue units, rank and file of the @PoliceNG, in cahoots with their superiors, including IGP Abubakar Adamu👇 Image
3/ In my brief earthly sojourn, I've interacted with Police personnels from the UK, U.S. & Italy. Nigeria is about the only country where bonafide citizens going about their normal daily businesses are stopped at random on roadways by rogue @PoliceNG personnels, for extortion. ImageImageImage

Dear @ProfOsinbajo

By all account, I may assume you are a good man who cares about citizens well being.

Imagine if the life of the young man who married your daughter has been caught shot like this, you wouldn't be a grandfather today.

But since we have no name, is that we
we don't matter or our means nothing.

It's really unbecoming we have to live our lives in fear every day with the risk of being killed by rogue security agencies.

To realize that this is no news yet nothing has been done to improve the condition in the past years is alarming.
I was once almost a victim but I was lucky. I may not be so lucky another day and that might be my end.

Stories about but it's as though our government who has the power to do and not so has rather chosen the later option of ”not do”

Until when?

My friend who accompanied me was asleep so I turned around to wake him up, when I noticed the @Boltapp_ng driver unlocked the doors and they forced their way in. One sat in front while the other at the back sit with us. They asked for our phones which we gave them

Professionals and well equipped to keep the beautiful country safe.
