According to her, she is very disappointment with the leadership of the country and dissolving the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, FSARS, is not the end to all of our problems.

“God forbid that Jamil will grow up and nothing has changed or even gotten worse. We will hold these leaders accountable. They have played with our lives for too long. They have lived like rock stars with our money. It’s time to call them out. From the local government chairman, reps, senate down to the president. The must all show us what they have done and we don’t want to see any stupid 3D pictures bus stations for railroads they are building.”

The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) is a Nigerian Police Force unit under the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department headed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police Anthony Ogbizi. Since 2012, SARS has come under controversy for being linked to acts of extortion, torture, framing and blackmail.

The Special Anti-Robbery Squad was founded in 1992 by former police commissioner Simeon Danladi Midenda. The major reason SARS was formed was when Col. Rindam, a Nigerian Army Colonel was killed by police officers at a checkpoint in Lagos.

SARS is one of the 14 units in the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department which was established to detain, investigate and prosecute people involved in crimes like armed robbery, kidnapping and other forms of crimes.

During its formation the Special Anti-Robbery Squad was known to operate covertly. SARS operatives were not allowed to wear police uniform, publicly carry guns or have walkie-talkies. They were given unmarked vehicles with sometimes no license plates or private plate numbers during duty
