Hundreds of young anti-SARS protesters on Sunday stormed the Nigeria House in New York demanding that operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad found wanting should be sacked and not redeployed.
The protest started shortly after the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, announced the nationwide dissolution of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad.
The SARS operatives were absorbed into the system. However, the protesters, who bore placards with different inscriptions including, “We no want audio ban”, said they were not buying it.
Miss Omobolanle Adams, of the protest organisers said, “We are not buying that because they told us in 2017 that SARS had been banned from a lot of things, but they continued.”
“We don’t want back-door politics, we don’t want back-door negotiations.
“We want President Muhammadu Buhari to speak directly to us. We want justice for people that were murdered, raped, and assaulted.
“We want the SARS operatives responsible brought to book and at the end of the day, we don’t want them redeployed to other units. We want them gone,” she said.
