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
Q4. .@OkechukwuNwang2 & .@segalink In an effort to initiate the process of repositioning #SARS, the CP in charge has called for citizens to send in complaints directly for action. Should this be a cheering news to the public? #ACJA_NG
Q5. @OkechukwuNwang2 & @segalink how can the activities of SARS be effectively monitored to checkmate the culture of impunity and who in your opinion should be saddled with the responsibility? #ACJA_NG
