In recent days, a lot of Nigerians took to social media to join voices in the ‘End SARS‘ media campaign. The campaign got more serious after an innocent Nigerian – Mr. Kolade Johnson – was mistakenly shot dead by a SARS official on Sunday where he went to watch a football match.

Unlike before, the President of the country responded to the campaign using his official Twitter handle. He is of the opinion that the government will not tolerate brutalization of Nigerian citizens or the violation of their rights in any way.

In his tweets, he wrote;

Let me make it clear that the Government will not tolerate in any way the brutalization of Nigerians or the violation of their rights. Any law enforcement officer or government functionary caught in this act will be visited with the full weight of the law.

The recent unfortunate action of SARS operatives from the Lagos State Police Command, which led to the avoidable death of Mr. Kolade Johnson, is deeply regretted. Once again, our condolences to the family of the deceased. I’m aware the Police authorities have visited them.

I acknowledge the genuine outrage from citizens and Civil Society groups regarding the activities of SARS. As you’re aware, the Suspects in the Kolade Johnson killing are in custody. When the orderly room trial is concluded, indicted officers will be prosecuted in court.

While important steps have been taken by the Police leadership to restructure and reform SARS, in line with presidential directives, more needs to be done. I assure this will be done. We will continue to work to ensure that we have a Police Force that adheres to the rule of law.

Acknowledgment is not the main thing, the action he will take is the sole and primary thing we are waiting to observe !! but Oga it's not am aware that police have visited them but HAS visited them

We are used to empty promises. I will be a surprise if this case is truly visited and addressed.

Acknowledgement is different from taking immediate action.
That's what we always hear: Acknowledge this, acknowledge that.
Forget about all this people writing things for Buhari on his page, most times he's even unaware of some of the things happening in the country.
After all, he can't even make use of a phone.

We are telling you to ENDSARS

and you are here talking about reforming and restructuring it

this man sef

At least PMB is becoming aware...nah action remain. .may this awareness never stop. .ameen

Sometimes, I use to think that maybe Buhari doesn't have a browsing phone....
Let him just surf Nairaland and cry
Let him surf Twitter and feel the pains
Let him surf Facebook and know what ppl are passing through
He can then visit xvideos and xnxx to cool down

PMB wet no fit read?

I could remember not lomg ago,u directed that all SARS will have to be on full uniform and should not carryout stop n search
..come my area,SARS dey wear sneakers with a.k

And the worst part is that,as old as I am,i can't even carry my small dreads in peace

Impressive but not totally convinced. We need actions. Some of the SARS operatives are worst than criminals.

Talk na water. Action na blood

I hope something is done urgently to curb this menace called SARS.
