Ex-Vice-President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday, December 3, joined in the condemnation of the activities of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigeria Police Force.
The #EndSARS hashtag has been trending on the social media since Saturday when Nigerians took to their social media pages to narrate the atrocities committed by SARS who are tasked with protecting them.
Despite the call for the scrapping of the unit, the Police PRO, Jimmoh Moshood on Sunday, described those who want SARS scrapped as ‘people who have something to hide’ and that the operatives are doing ‘fantastically well.’
Below is Atiku’s reaction to the heated call for the scrapping of SARS;

The arbitrary harassment of young Nigerians by Police (who should be protecting them) has no place in a democratic society.The #EndSARS protest shows Nigerian youth are upset and the matter needs urgent attention.

Everyday, we encourage our young people to become entrepreneurs. Buying a laptop to earn a living shouldn’t attract harassment.— Atiku Abubakar (@atiku) December 3, 2017
I commend our young people for protesting these injustices peacefully online, and encourage the IG of @PoliceNG to take these complaints seriously.I also urge the National Assembly to look into these complaints, and address the human rights issues. Reforms are urgently needed.
