Some of the reasons the youths are risking their lives to protest:👇
''*IFEOMA ABUGU, 20, a young lady who had just graduated and was in NYSC, was arrested in place of her fiancee at his residence in Lokogoma, Abuja. Ifeoma was sexually assaulted and later died in SARS custody
a day after she was arrested. Justice has not prevailed.
*GODGIFT FERGUSON EKERETE ,24 ,TONY ORUAMA ,21, HARRY ATARIA, 26, were arrested during a raid and then killed in detention that same day on 3 July 2008. They were falsely accused of being armed robbers and cultists.
The police officers responsible are still freely roaming.
*KOLADE JOHNSON, was killed on the 31st March 2019 by a SARS officer, for ‘looking like a fraudster’. He left his home to watch a Liverpool vs Tottenham Spurs match and never returned. The officer responsible still roams

I was arrested for scamming tonight. No, I'm not a scammer. I'm a copywriter going home after a brainstorming session with Ore Afolayan. They would love to search my phone but it was off. So, they took me away in the squad car to the Ashi Station. My phone was charged & searched.
When we got to the station, an officer took me to his office where my phone was charged & searched. This lasted for about 45mins.When they couldn't find anything scammy on my phone, I was released with a stern lecture from a Police.
My network is terrible rn. I didn't pay tho. But I was kicked & punched while being forced into their car. I could still feel pains in my back. We are protesting for SARS to be scrapped, but they are still out extorting & violating people's rights. This must stop. #SarsMustGoNow

#5for5: DEMANDS NOT COMPREHENSIVE

The core purpose of #SarsMustGoNow, #SARSMUSTENDNOW protests rocking Nigeria was for #EndPoliceBrutality.

If @PoliceNG's illegal roadblocks/checkpoints of extortion continue across major highways & inner-city roads, this #MassMovement FAILED. ImageImageImageImage
2/ I, insist that @PoliceNG roadblocks/checkpoints are only designed to extort ordinary Nigerians of their hard-earned monies. These illegal extortion points don't contain crime.

Nigeria is about the only place, the world over, with such crude model of policing. #ShutItAllDown. ImageImageImageImage
3/ Int’l Society for Civil Liberties & Rule of
Law, '19 Report says Nigerians @ gunpoints paid over N306b at an estimated 600 military & 6,300 @PoliceNG roadblocks across SS & SE (August 2015-Oct. 2019).

This brazen @PoliceNG, @HQNigerianArmy corruption only happens in Nigeria. ImageImageImageImage

"You people are not saying what you want"
"Some of your demands will take much longer time"

We gave you 5 years, of begging and screaming to do the bare minimum, and now you want us to wait for absolute reform.

No thanks

Okay you want to pretend you don't know what to do

Simple show of good faith.

- Within the next 24 hours get every single SARS official off the streets. Every single officer must wear a uniform with their name and ID number clearly displayed

Ask for a two week period to set up an INDEPENDENT panel that will begin investigate the unit and share findings PUBLICLY. The hearing go be like Oputa Panel. Everything open, we will watch it on NTA every bloody day like BBN. The findings will be public.

Guys, there is gist.
A police friend just gave me some details about this whole issue on SARS, we might be in the middle of a cartel war.
I don't every thing police me say to be 100% true but just read and learn.

He said, the larger population believe that 419 and Yahoo boys are one and the same. He says it is a big lie. 419, are the old established order who are in bed with top hierarchy of the police, he says the romance goes long before now

He says the old established order which is 419, used to view the new guys in town as small boys (Yahoo boys) until, the Yahoo boys started cashing out madly and started affecting the clientele of the 419ers and as such, the kickbacks, police and their bosses got.
