Just woke up to two pretty distressing videos in my WhatsApp.
I won't share the one of a lady getting shot, but the other is safer, so sharing the link:

In our newsletter today, mailchi.mp/31303a1f28a6/t…, my colleagues had an infographic that indicates just how out of control #SARS is as a unit.
Note that in January this year, they killed a DSS officer. That says a whole lot.

Despite this, we have officials tacitly defending this unit. That brings questions as to why.
These questions are important so we'll know what is meant to be done.
A simple #EndSARS will not solve the problem. It's a deep issue with @PoliceNG and it's very structure.

People within SARS remit their gate takings upwards.
The unit, as well as several others, are part of #Nigeria's patronage system.
The country is bankrupt, so men with guns are turning those guns on the people they should protect.
This has to be a part of the conversation.

If, and hopefully when, these protests achieve their aim, WE MUST have a discussion about #Nigeria's entire policing structure so that #EndSARS won't just be another exercise in futility.
God rest the dead.
