JETTISON YOUR MESSIAH COMPLEX NOW!

If the #EndSARS movt is scuttled by hook or by crook, fails to achieve #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria, what is coming will be 100 times worst than scenes captured in this one minute video.

@segalink, @feminist_co, & #WeThePeople must be guided.

Since #EndSARS protest began, October 8, 2020, in Lagos, there've been relative progresses:

1. Officially, the notorious unit SARS/FSARS has been disbanded.

2. No SARS personnel will make the new @PoliceNG Tactical Unit to tame armedrobbery & other violent crimes in Nigeria.

For aggrieved Nigerians, particularly the Youths, who've been on the streets for the 12th day running to believe @NigeriaGov, @nassnigeria, @kfayemi-led @NGFSecretariat, as well as the @PoliceNG authorities that they are serious about #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria, they should:

1. Prosecute or release all innocent Nigerians held in @PoliceNG, FSARS, DSS & @officialEFCC holding cells.

2. Hasten the prosecution or drop charges against 51,983 of 73,726 inmates awaiting trial across Nigeria's prisons. As at April 2020, only 22, 773 inmates are convicts.

3. Drop the trump-up charges leveled against Youth activists fighting for #ABetterNigeria, such as @YeleSowore, Olawale Bakare (aka Mandate), et al.

4. Order immediate closure of all SARS/FSARS detention facilities, including the dreaded Awkuzu SARS, in Anambra State.

5. Order the immediate investigation, arrest and prosecution of the notorious former OC SARS, Awkuzu, retired CSP James Nwafor, as well as his colleagues, for their crimes against humanity.

6. Countless cases of misconducts/impunity by the @PoliceNG abound on the timeline of its Complaint Response Unit- @PoliceNG_CRU.

Immediately order a comprehensive audit of its activities since October 2015.

How many persons 've been Dismissed, Demoted, Prosecuted or Jailed?

7/ You don't need committees, panels, white papers to give aggrieved Nigerians on the streets answers as to what @PoliceNG has done thus far to Dismiss, Demote, Prosecute & Jail rogue personnels since the @PoliceNG_CRU was created in October 2015.

Needless these useless panels.

8/ For Police Accountability & National Security, via an Act of Parliament, @PoliceNG should be decentralised into 37 Independent State Police & 774+ Independent Local Police Departments.

I've continuously advocated for this effective policing model, since February 2020.

9. Pending when @NigeriaGov, @nassnigeria & @kfayemi-led @NGFSecretariat are ready to decentralise @PoliceNG, I suggest the immediate decentralisation of @PoliceNG_CRU across the 36 States Commands, including FCT Abuja.

Abuja is too far to ensure the effectiveness of this unit.

10. When @PoliceNG_CRU is decentralised for effectiveness, morph the unit into two departments:

- Complaints for misconducts/impunity by @PoliceNG personnels against the Nigerian civilian communities.

- Complaints about crime incidents & fire incidents.

11. For effectiveness of the new @PoliceNG_CRU department to handle complaints about crime & fire incidents across 774 LGAs, the 112 emergency toll-free helpline supposedly launched by @NGRPresident & Communications Minister, @DrIsaPantami in March 2020, comes alive.

12. @NGFSecretariat supported by @NigeriaGov should build state-of-the-art 112 Work Stations across 36 States & Abuja, with unrestricted reachability down to their Local Government Areas. Nigerians across the 774 LGAs should be able to reach this toll-free help-line 24/7.

13. Decentralise @PoliceNG_CRU across 36 States & FCT Abuja, then members of @NigBarAssoc, @AmnestyNigeria, @NhrcNigeria, civil society groups, et al, can be empaneled to join the @PoliceNG in immediately investigating reported cases of Police misconducts for necessary actions.

14. END- 112 Emergency Toll-Free Service must be decentralised, & reachable across 774 LGAs.

The @PoliceNG_CRU Dept for Crimes/Fire Complaints across the 36 States & Abuja, should hire & train Nigerian Youths as dispatchers, working 24/7.
