We Cannot #EndSARS; Most Complaints, Allegations Against Them Are Not True – Police
The Nigeria Police Force has said most of the complaints about officials of the Special Anti-robbery Squad (SARS) are not true, therefore it cannot be dismantled taken into consideration its importance to the force.
Police spokesperson, Jimoh Moshood said this in a recent interview with Punch.
He said, “We are quite concerned with the complaints against SARS and that is why the Inspector-General of Police has directed its re-organisation. We know that most of the complaints and allegations against SARS are not always true, but the IG has ordered an investigation to ascertain them. He has also directed that human rights desk be set up in all the state commands to handle rights abuse by SARS operatives. So, the people who started the #EndSARS campaign can channel their grievances to the desk officers for investigation. SARS has been in existence for over 40 years and it is essential to the force, so we cannot dismantle it.”
He added that “one or two infractions” should not lead to the calls for scrapping of SARS.
“We can’t say because there are one or two infractions, we should end SARS because if you end SARS, robbers would take over. We appreciate the patriotism of those demanding an end to SARS, but other groups are equally saying, reform SARS. So if they have any complaint against the unit, let them tell us and it would be addressed.”

If you want to tell Nigerians that you are not seeing the videos of SARS harassing intimidating people on the roads and streets, then you are a pathological liar and also not qualify to be in that uniform. Please stop treating Nigerians as a fool because we are not, you can fool some people sometimes but you can not fool all the people all the times. Put your so called SARS in order and stop defending them, i know there are good ones among you but make sure you fish out the bad ones and stop all this drama, the work of SARS is not to stop cars on the roads, not to check people’s phone or laptop but to go after armed robbers.

The SARS should behave themselves instead of becoming problem to Nigerians citizens see the level of complaints against them by the people…..its shows that notoriety and criminality abound in many of them…its not about criminals fuelling the protests, they are just embarrassing the nation
