Q1. .@segalink and @OkechukwuNwang2 may we meet you? #ACJA_NG

Q3. @segalink & @OkechukwuNwang2 there is an ongoing public clamour to #EndSARS due to increasing reports of harassment, extortion, brutality and other human rights violations but the IGP says the unit can only be reformed and not shutdown. What do you make of this? #ACJA_NG

The phone rang frantically, interrupting his much needed rest after a marathon week of thankless hard labour for humanity. “Sir, I don’t know where they are taking me. They said something about shooting me and taking a picture with a gun by my side” the voice shrieked.
It’s 3am in the morning where are you? What did you do? Who are the people tormenting you? If you still have your phone can you let me speak with them? He said suggested trying hard to find soothing words to calm the situation in readiness for possible intervention.
“Yesss, who you be?” Said the husky voice at the other end of the phone. “Na wetin him talk say we do am?” He queried. Before he could find words to respond another call came in. But he had to leave it on the call wait. “Officer, good morning, I appreciate all that you do...

#StateCaptureInquiry Remember when @TreasuryRSA Minister of Treasury Nhlanhla Nene answered eNCA’s @samkelemaseko asking if he would testify? Nene said, “Watch this space.” And later, after some pressing from Maseko, “Watch the space, meaning a lot of us might be appearing soon.”
#StateCaptureInquiry Nene will be the first sitting minister to testify at the inquiry. Previously Minister of Public Enterprises Pravin Gordhan attended hearings, when his former right hand man Mcebisi Jonas testified, saying a Gupta brother offered him the Finance Minister job.
#StateCaptureInquiry Nene will testify on events around then President Jacob Zuma firing him at night on 9 December 2015. Zuma said at the time, “I wish Mr Van Rooyen all the best in this new appointment. The new deployment of Mr Nene will be announced in due course.”

@segalink @julietkego @Tutsy22 @DrJoeAbah @PoliceNG @AbdulMahmud01 @citizen_gavel @RuggedyBaba @NwangumaOkey @Intergrity56 @zeal_a @CACCOT1 @ArthurObiOkafor @bunmola2010 @NelsonJide Bravo SEGA, the immovable behemoth has finally moved. We celebrate this move away from intransigence, even as it does not go far enough. The goal #ENDSARS remains. I shall tell you why I think so
@segalink @julietkego @Tutsy22 @DrJoeAbah @PoliceNG @AbdulMahmud01 @citizen_gavel @RuggedyBaba @NwangumaOkey @Intergrity56 @zeal_a @CACCOT1 @ArthurObiOkafor @bunmola2010 @NelsonJide 1. Drawing from the lessons the protracted obduracy over this matter which the IGP has demonstrated thus far, I refuse to be taken in by this seeming volte face. It is simply not in the man's nature to blink
@segalink @julietkego @Tutsy22 @DrJoeAbah @PoliceNG @AbdulMahmud01 @citizen_gavel @RuggedyBaba @NwangumaOkey @Intergrity56 @zeal_a @CACCOT1 @ArthurObiOkafor @bunmola2010 @NelsonJide 2. The fact that Daura got sacked so ignominiously probably jolted the Police helmsman into not trifling with the AgP's orders. Reason why he acted with such immediacy on the matter. Tis primarily about self-preservation

@DHORLIBABE Madam, genuinely you don’t get to decide that. SARS is as good as gone. Don’t get transfixed on the #EndSARS (Objective) but remember #ReformPoliceNG (EndGame) which makes things better for all not just those benefitting from the proceeds from SARS.
@DHORLIBABE Telling Nigerians you want to fix SARS means you are either being mendacious or naive. It is a Cancer. You can’t fix it. Violence, Belligerence, Crime & Culture Of Abuse have become endemic. You can only sever it to save the Police structure itself.
@DHORLIBABE Ideally we should be calling for the disbandment of the Police but even I with security experience of years know that this is going to be impossible though justifiable. We can always salvage the police for we have good people in the system.

A lot has happened and a lot is happening with the #EndSARS #ReformPoliceNG Movement, a brainchild of the Universal Institutional Reform Advocacy NG, which seeks the strengthening of our Institutions across spectrum, beginning with the reformation of the Criminal Justice System.
This is why we started with an Objective #EndSARS and an end goal of #ReformPoliceNG while other objectives are in the works with their individual end goals until we achieve the holistic purpose of the advocacy. #UniversalInstitutionalReforms #EndSARS #ReformPoliceNG
So it is deeper than the what most know in the public space. Thus, the difficulty of hijacking this for political purposes. It’s deeply rooted with extensive research of 10years before the open petition and campaign from 2015 which peaked in 2016/2017. #EndSARS #ReformPoliceNG
