SARS WAS NEVER MEANT TO FIGHT ROBBERY
That SARS should end shouldnt have been up for debate if Nigerians know that SARS was d Police wing of Ibrahim Maradona Babangida's terror machination, set up to crush prodemocracy agitations in 1992, before the eventual 1993 June 12 impasse.

Its true that Danladi Mirenda gave d coinage 'SARS' to his team when he was moved from Benin to Lagos in 1992, but this team were men from FCID, Adeniji Adele, Zone 2 Anti-Robbery & State CID Panti. These anti-robbery units were already doing hatchet jobs for Halilu Akilu's DMI.

Publishers of TELL Magazine will have a full library compliment of how SARS in 1992 hounded Gani, Beko, Mayegun and others at the peak of Babangida's scheme to transform himself into a civilian President, after the sham elections that gave majority seats to his front party, NRC.

While IBB's govt made it look like SARS was set up to curb Shina Rambo's rampage in Lagos, i remembered TELL Magazine raised an alarm then that Brigadier Togun was coopting SARS men for IBB's National Guard. Togun is today Chairman of Amotekun as appointed by Seyi Makinde. 😃

SARS attained its current level of notoriety when Abacha disbanded IBB's National Guard after the New year of January 1994, and those drafted from Police returned to SARS. T'was this SARS that coordinated Gani's arrest in January 1996, before he was handed over to SSS Shangisha.

Since SARS started in 1992, it existed & operated only in Lagos until about 2002. It was OBJ & Atiku that duplicated SARS nationwide. Because he knew youths dont know this, today, Atiku, our father of amorphous democrats is also tweeting #EndSARS
Una see say this life no balance?

All d stories about SARS being set up to fight robbery will make Gani turn in his grave. Majority of d human right cases Gani did was against SARS & SSS. You dont know anything about SARS if u're asking for its reform. SARS is like cancer. You dont reform cancer; you cut it off.

These are daredevil men allowed liberty to write their own rules and are largely disconnected, even from CPs & IGP's command. Crime fighting has gone tech & digital. We dont need to be at the mercy of bloodthirsty policemen filled with Indian hemp, before we feel safe.
