Amidst the nationwide outcry against operatives of Special
Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), the Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari
on social media, Laureta Onochie has defended the dreaded police unit.
On social media, Nigerians are speaking against the unit
following recent shooting of an unarmed civilian in Delta State.
The “ENDSARS hashtag” is trending on twitter and other
social media platforms.
Atiku Abubakar, Bukola Saraki and several celebrities have
also joined the campaign in the past 48hours.
Lauretta, in a tweet on Sunday, said, “We must stand by our
national institutions while working to improve their effectiveness.”
“I have no doubt that there are some staff of SARS who are
unprofessional in their dealings with d public, same way we have
unprofessionalism in d Army, Mainstream Police, Customs, Civil Service, Public
Service, traders, Lawyers, Doctors, journalists, teachers, pastors, etc.
“But what is going on now, is a COORDINATED ATTACK BY CYBER
CRIMINALS joined by UNSUSPECTING INNOCENT CITIZENS.
“This is not the first time. We must stand by our national
institutions while working to improve their effectiveness. Thats what
patriotism is about.
NO SENTIMENTS.”
This position is quite contradictory to the position of the
Minister for Sport and Youth, Sunday Dare who has been condemning SARS in the
past 48hours.
