Nigerian controversial music, Azeez Fashola, aka Naira
Marley, has condemned the current agitation to ban the notorious police
anti-robbery squad, popularly known as SARS in the country.
According to him, the agitation is fueled by armed robbers,
adding that there is no need to disband the Special Anti Robbery Squad unit
of the police.
Naira Marley also said what the country needs at the moment
is not outright disbandment of SARS, which is notorious for arbitrary killings and
other human rights violations, but police reforms.
The Tesumole crooner stated this in an Instagram live
session on Tuesday. He also gave reasons why the planned protest against police
brutality earlier scheduled for today was cancelled, citing Covid-19 concerns.
“We need to reform SARS. Let’s be reasonable. Are you an
armed robber? Why will you say they should end SARS? If you end SARS, it means
they should end EFCC and other agencies. All we have to do is vet them off the
road.
“Nobody threatened me, I know my rights. What stopped me was
thinking of the safety of everybody and I saw that the police issued a
statement, ” he maintained.
Naira Marley’s u-turn is coming as a surprise to many
because he had always been a vocal critic of the Special Anti-Robbery squad and
had scheduled a planned protest against SARS for today.
