I don’t know what you have been told but we are not Reforming SARS. An overhaul is ongoing and a holistic Reformation of the Police is ongoing. The officers in SARS will go through psychological evaluation & polygraph tests. Those who excel will be drafted into a new Unit.
It will be unwise for this new unit to be called any name in relation to SARS. That memory must die to us all for a fresh start. The new unit of elite squad will only respond to distress calls pertaining Violent Crimes (Armed Robbery & Kidnapping). This is what we stand for.
Those wishing to push an agenda with narratives that portray them as winning the argument can word it as they please. For us it is not about who is right but what is right. Our youth must be free and premium must be put on the lives of all citizens. #ReformPoliceNG
For our police to function effectively, they must earn our trust. For this to happen they must listen to our feedback as the off-taker of the services they render. We are more than willing to work and assist but clarity and understanding is key. We remain with the people.
There several units in the police system that others who fail to qualify for read ittance can be absorbed in without being confronted with dealing with the citizenry on the streets. There are other volatile areas in Nigeria badly in need of belligerent engagement.
There will however be pockets of incidents here and there pending the time a lot of the policies and plans take shape. It is not a switch. The changes will take a bit of time before we witness an overwhelming turn around. Keep reporting.
The Police has opened their doors to interventions by the public sector. They have involved independent professionals as well as the NHRC, IHRC and our advocacy to monitor the process and contribute to the reforms. So there’re no games here.
