#EndSARS: Gov Fayose reacts to campaign
Ekiti state Governor, Ayodele Fayose.
Fayose says SARS needs reform.
Ekiti state Governor, Ayodele Fayose has spoken on the ongoing call for the disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS.
It would be recalled that the campaign started by some Nigerians on Saturday on the social media with the hastag #EndSARS, with allegations of illegal killings, brutality and wanton arrest from the unit.
Therefore, Fayose, in a tweet on Monday opined that rather than dissolving the police unit, a reform would be a better option.
“I won’t say #EndSARS. Rather I will say #ReformThePolice such that someone will not sit in Abuja and be in charge of resolving robbery issue in Abakaliki,” he tweeted.
The campaign has generated serious outburst and drew attention from various prominent Nigerians, celebrities and other concerned citizens.
Naija News reports that the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris has called for the immediate reorganisation of SARS across the country
It was gathered that the police have denied some of the allegations levelled against them and the #EndSARS organisers are planning a nationwide protest to end the illegalities in the police unit.
