Simon Lalong, Plateau state governor and chairman of the Northern Governors Forum, told State House correspondents after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja on Thursday that the police unit has been useful in the fight against insecurity in the region.

“SARS is not made up of bad elements alone as it also includes personnel who are doing their work diligently,” he said.

Lalong said what is needed is the reformation of the unit to enable it to discharge its functions “optimally”.


On Sunday, Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police (IGP), announced the disbandment of SARS following nationwide protests against alleged human rights violations by the unit.

But the protests continued as the #EndSARS campaigners demanded the prosecution of all officers named in cases of rights abuses.

The protests have spread across the country and have persisted for days.


However, while there is a strong momentum of the citizen action in the south of the country, there is a passive response in the northern region.

The police leadership has promised reforms, setting up a new unit named — special weapons and tactics (SWAT).

Good for democracy and the sovereignty of Nigeria.

The smart ones were able to sense a political undertone amidst the protest.

We are watching.

I spent over 3years in the North, without seeing this Sars guys. But getting to south, omo before you drive from this junction to the other junction u go see Dem with there patrol bus

Employ your own guards and call them SARS.

We have the tendency to run away from suffering and to look for happiness. But, in fact, if you have not suffered, you have no chance to experience real happiness.

We need the regions back.

It is a fact. Even if they help against insurgency, is that their job? How many armed robberies is SARS dealing with in Nigerian courts.

Why is there no proven records being released that the squad is doing its job?

Because a thief makes a good vigilante sometimes doesn't make a thief good.

no problem now. let them continue there good works in the north. but south and east don't put them there simple. no be fight

I hope by Northern governors he didn't include middle belt governors?

Look at the fool Lalong has become.

A stupid willing tool in the hands of Fulani hegemonists.

No allusion to the genuine demands of the protesters in the streets. Only what his Fulani masters told him to say.

As Nigeria moves towards this new phase, it's good to know those who are trying to become a clog in our wheel of progress. They shall be paid back in their own coin in due time.

#WeMove!

SARS is dead

Too late

You see this Simon Lalong, the day he will regret his romance with core northern fulani muslims will come. He will have no one to cry to when that day comes, he may continue in his foolery.

U are either a sars officer; have relations in the ignoble unit or a paid agent, judging from ur callous and insentive statements on this forum. I pray God treat u the way sars officials have treated many innocent Nigerians! Can i get a big Amen from u?

I have been saying it from day one that nothereners are everything anti south.

They are all saying SARS is doing a great job in the north,and are even organising protests to protect SARS . now, the Borno state governor said 'bring the disbanded officers to Borno, ACF began to kick against the idea of redeploying them to North citing worsening security situation should that idea be bought.

What does this people really want, of a truth, North is the enemy of good governance,and major sponsors of crisis and insecurity in Nigeria, it is terribly terrible living together as one country with this people.

For me, deploy SARS to the North, we don't need them in South here

Send the disbanded unit to them leave the South out of your game

So everyone must follow the way of your reasoning.

#EndProtestNow

Let the Government do their job

They are mad

All those that are supporting the disbandment of SARS are either CRIMINALS, IPOB TERRORIST, LAZY YOUTHS OR THEY HAVE A RELATIVE WHO IS A CRIMINAL.

U dont have to follow anybody's reasoning. U already have a God given conscience to decipher between what is good and bad. U only set aside ur conscience to support evil when u benefit directly from it.

There are people suffering because of this protest. What do you think is in their mind. Our voice has been heard,it's time to put an end to this protest that is fast becoming a charade

Fine

Northern Youths are hardworking. They don't do Yahoo, Rituals, Armed Robbery and other criminal acts. The only crime in the North is banditry and kidnapping. And theşe crimes only happen in the outskirts of Northern towns.
