overhauling the present system its just not working. we need check and balancing re-training on ethics and behaviour stiffer penalty for offender swift investigation to claims/complains etc

Omooba77:
Our politicians are just mouthing reforming Police in Nigeria.
Daily SARS, IRT and police in general are becoming daring and brutal against the people. Yet the President, igp and law makers are doing nothing about it. Owning a phone or computer is now a crime. Just by Sango under bridge going to Atan, come and see how sars were behaving molesting innocent citizens.
Please if you have been brutalised by police; tell us your experience and what can we do to put an end to this menace?

We have bunch of idiots as leaders I must tell u. I have never experienced such bt I hear stories sm of the people are guilty of sm crime and sm other are not sadly. From what I hear it’s despicable and criminal and I think our dumb leaders shud do more than lip service.

Bt I must tell u the truth police reforms is not easy. It take same craziness bt from the positive side to deal with the negative ones. U must address them as terrible and merciless as there treat their now victims they shud ideally be protecting or atleast when suspicious apply due process.

The police will have to raid their own erring colleagues, deal decisively with them and Bring them to book. It’s a hard task to change a corrupt cop when it’s becoming part of their system.

Well, the problem is, we all moan about Police and SARS brutality, yet I can't see any Nigerian come out on the street to actually protest.

(EndSARS became a phenonenom....on the internet. Now that's nice, but internet likes don't do much in the world.).

You also don't see Nigerians putting pressure on their senators, and representatives to pass laws that...I don't know...get better training for the Police.

Also, we mistreat the Police too. Funding for the Nigerian Police force is far less than what the NYPD of New York spends in a year...for policing 25 million people. (NPF polices 200 million). Monthly salary of a Police constable is 44,000 naira only. And we are asking why they collect bribes??

Then there is the Nigerian phenonenom; someone comits crimes, he does not get punished, the family of the victim gets paid off, or begged to drop the case. For some reason we have an aversion to prosecuting crime in Nigeria.

Since I was born till today, I have never been arrested or harassed by the police.

You can't have dread and tattoos without drawing attention from sars and the police.

Those saying that tattoos are cool bla bla should know that this is Africa not Europe.

No difference between them and kidnappers..they beat their victims and drive them away from the spot they are been taken

What's the man's name/number/facebook name ?

sicily4u:
There is a man on Facebook he is good in retrieving people's money that SARS took from them be it cash or bank transfer as far as u have evidence today alone get got about 1.2m from them,just call his number no matter ur location he will be there with his team, he is also good in rape case if police collect money and refused to act

SARS brutality will not end if you have the luck and win them in court Ur bruises will turn into millions but to say it will end na lie

Elder0001:
I’ve never experienced any sort of brutality or anomaly in the hands of policemen or sars guys sha,maybe it’s because of my simplicity and the way I present myself.

wait for it... I was simple and modest... was Even on my way to nysc camp... After searching my fone and bag without finding anything... Dey still extorted me!!!

The kind of hairstyle you spotted and your dressing also matters a lot...

Voting the right leaders that will rebuild our judiciary to standard. The law must protect all both the rich and the poor.

With my experience with Nigeria Police force, the police has no power to brutalize any innocent person. We granted them the power through many channels and they took advantage of it.

The 2 gates of Sango police station op reffered to were donated by welders. Have they donated anything to schools in the area? NO!

Whenever you enter the station, you will see traditional rulers coming to pay homage to DPO or the Area commander. Is that not a shame?

The worst is pepper grinders coming to have connection with the DPO.

How can you give a black man such prestige and he won't misbehave?

Mr President is shocked by the actions of SARS and other police departments.

I have never had an experience in any form, but that does not mean such brutalities and harassment doesn't exist.

As a youth in this country, your mannerism, code of dressing and conduct matters a great deal on how these intelligent outfit relates to you. Truth is, street lingua and pidgin English dey sweet, but when you're with these guys don't try using such; if you can't speak good English, use your native language in the most modest way.

Above all, living a simple and quite life won't Rob you off, your wealth and ruggedity cum intelligence....(Hush and Mompha are good enough for you to learn quite living like Zucker).

Thank you

I honestly don’t think they can be stopped o cos I’ve encountered them many times arresting me cos of tattoos only o. Say I be this and that with no proof
There are some good officers just that they are few. The last time I was harassed and arrested Na from Agege dem carry me go Ogun state just because of tatts I was released the next day after enough plea and bailing fee. Me I’m avoiding police officers these days o cos I no want wahala and embarrassment

I will save a dying frog with my last strength than go near a policeman who need my help. Those guys are worse than the devil. I can never like them and in fact if I have my way I will rather shoot them dead and go to jail for life than allow them extort me.

then why don't they arrest our grandmas with tattoos na? see we are just been hypocrites here period, come to Abk and see these older women with ancient tattoos even with their family name go and arrest them na.

This thinking that this is Africa blah blah blah has not gotten us anywhere close the west in terms of exposure and advancement so the bragging right that we have ranting this is Africa?

Just be honest, these guys are pure evil, harassing citizens up and down, for what na?

joyandfaith:

People shouldn't be scared to go to clubs or bars because of SARS

if you want to go , follow others suggestions i listed.

It seems you one of them what has your dressing gotten to do with extortion. Those saying dress this and that it's not only by dressing or can't a dude look good and when did dreads turn to a crime. Simple dress neatly and responsibly.

Omooba77:
See our youth keeping mute on what affect their future. Is it because it is not snake or Hushpuppi thread?
We must rescue ourselves from rogues.
Last week I saw some SARS in a bus around Sura, Obalende. I kept on wondering, how can police dress like this and openly display thuggery and this is close to Kasem house, Obalende.

Majority of Nigerians are daft,, and that's the major problem...

Besides, a significant number of them are been spoon-fed by "mommy"; still smelling of breast milk..
...So, they've not really come in contact with reality.

Do you know how many people are awaiting trials for more than five years. Injustice is thriving in Nigeria.

Omooba77:
They abduct people and collect Ransom

That's how they abducted me in front of my house, I slept in the cell and in the morning of the next day, they collected Ransome of 25k from my family. They even asked me to transfer it. I didn't do anything at all. This lockdown. It's well

If government really wants to do this, it's quite simple. Sack the DPO of any station whose officers are accused of extortion.

You can start with those ones at Cement busstop, then move to the ones that stay at Megida (in front of Anchor university).

Are we not supposed to be free in our own country. What is then freedom of movement?

Not in this life

confidential20:
can you share his number or fb name?

Here is the problem, y'all trust powerful men instead of building powerful institutions that will work to guarantee individual rights and liberties.

The Nigerian education sector is truly questionable.

Nonsense and Buratai.

Your example is allover the country, people are just extorted by police everywhere.
