SARS has been disbanded, no need to continue the protest- Senate President, Lawan
The president of the Nigerian Senate has appealed to Nigerian youths to stop the endSARS protest as the controversial Police unit has been disbanded.
Speaking during plenary on Tuesday morning October 13, Lawan said
“The protest has yielded the desired result so far and there won’t be need to continue the protest again when SARS has been disbanded and those culprits who are involved in the killings should be brought to book,”
The Senate President said this following a motion by Buhari Abdulfatai, the Senator representing Oyo North Senatorial District. Abdulfatai had moved a motion to seek the leave of the Senate to present a motion on the death of a member of his constituency, Jimoh Isiaka, and attack on the Palace of Soun of Ogbomoso.
Following Abdulfatai’s motion, the Senate resolved to observe a minute silence in honor of the deceased and other Nigerians who lost their lives to Police brutality.
The Senate President condemned the conduct of the SARS operatives stating that it was right for the people to protest.
“The conduct of SARS was not acceptable and will remain in that part of our history. The entire essence of the Nigerian Police Force is to ensure there is law and other and when SARS turned against the people, it was right for the people to protest,” he added.
You have spoken well Sir but the truth of the matter is that Nigerians don’t trust the disbandment and that is why they are pressing on to see that their demands are met
Though, the SARS has been disbanded but the truth of it is that the government are not honest with Nigerians because you are the one to say this thing is white before the twinkle of an eye it will turn to black.
Our Senate president you are truly a leader and you have spoken, what need now is total overhauling of police force because of their inhumane treatment meted out to Nigerians. As you can see when we are saying enough is enough they still go ahead and killed Nigerians as at of yesterday. What do we call that?
You Have Spoken Well Sir But The Truth Of The Matter Is That Nigerians Don’t Trust The Disbandment And That Is Why They Are Pressing On To See That Their Demands Are Met
I hope Nigeria youths will relax a little bit and wait for the outcome of the disbursement. Thanks to those lent their voices out and and thank to those leaders who assist them in one way or the other.
Truth don’t normally come out from you since the they o know you, how can they stop the protest since there demand is not done yet, aluta still continue.
You must be mad, I mean President of the Senate…Ahmed lawan…if one of your children is one of the people that lost there life during the protests and all the one that was killed unnecessary by useless Nigeria police would you tell them to stop after disbanded? Think before you say.
