President Muhammadu Buhari has finally reacted to the #EndSARS protest going on in various states within the country with the aim of stopping police brutality.
The President revealed he had a meeting with the Inspector-General of Police, Adamu Mohammed and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and his regime’s determination to reform the police should never be in doubt.
Buhari disclosed that he has directed the IGP to address the concerns of Nigerians concerning the issue.
The statement read;
I met again with the IGP tonight. Our determination to reform the police should never be in doubt. I am being briefed regularly on the reform efforts ongoing to end police brutality and unethical conduct, and ensure that the Police are fully accountable to the people.
The IG already has my firm instructions to conclusively address the concerns of Nigerians regarding these excesses, & ensure erring personnel are brought to justice. I appeal for patience & calm, even as Nigerians freely exercise their right to peacefully make their views known.
The vast majority of men and women of the Nigeria Police Force are patriotic and committed to protecting the lives and livelihoods of Nigerians, and we will continue to support them to do their job.
