Presidency finally breaks silence on SARS, police brutality

The presidency has reacted to the current campaign to end the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) activities. 

President Muhammadu Buhari’s aide on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, reacting to the renewed campaign, said the campaign is “coordinated attack by cyber criminals” who are joined by unsuspecting citizens.

She recalled that this is not the first time such attack is being launched on government institution, calling on Nigerians to stand by institutions while working on its effectiveness.

Onochie share on micro-blogging site, Twitter that: “I have no doubt that there are some staff of SARS who are unprofessional in their dealings with the public, same way we have unprofessionalism in the Army, Mainstream Police, Customs, Civil Service, Public Service, traders, lawyers, doctors, journalists, teachers, pastors etc.”

She defended and insisted that, “what is going on now, is a COORDINATED ATTACK BY CYBER CRIMINALS joined by UNSUSPECTING INNOCENT CITIZENS.”

“This not the first time. We must stand by our national institutions while working to improve their effectiveness. That’s what patriotism is about. NO SENTIMENTS.” Onochie said on campaign to end SARS activities.
