#EndSARS: Nigerians Drags Minister Of Police Affair Over His Comment On Disbandment Of SARS

The Minister of Police Affairs, Muhammad Dingyadi, has come under heavy fire on social media over his comment on the disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

KanyiDaily recalls that the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammaed Adamu announced the immediate disbandment of the SARS police unit following nationwide protests over its brutality, illegal arrest, extortion, extra-judicial killings, among others.

However, Nigerians have continued the ongoing #EndSARS protesters, insisting that the police authorities should carry out psychological evaluation and re-training of all disbanded SARS officers before they are redeployed.

The protester also demand the release of all arrested protesters, justice for all deceased victims of police brutality and appropriate compensation for their families.

They also want increased salaries for police officers as well as the establishment of an independent body to oversee the investigation and prosecution of all reports of police misconduct within 10 days.

Reacting on his Twitter page, the Minister of Police Affairs, Muhammad Dingyadi, urged Nigerians to see the disbandment as government’s commitment to deepening relationship between Nigerians and the police, for better service delivery.

“I urge Nigerians to see the disbandment of SARS, as government’s commitment to deepening relationship between Nigerians and the police, for better service delivery. Let’s continue to work together to secure our communities,” he tweeted.

But many Nigerians rejected Dingyadi’s submission and asked where he was while the notorious SARS unit operated with impunity. Some even expressed shock that the nation has a Ministry in charge of police Affairs.

How come Google Translate cannot translate “English” to English, Honourable Minister of Police Affairs? It would have been clearer if you had just said #EndSARS. https://t.co/wMURhGajWi
