Without #EndSARS Protests, Nigeria Would Disintegrate – Rev. Hyacinth Egbebo

Catholic bishop, Most Rev. Hyacinth Egbebo has come out to back the ongoing nationwide #EndSARS protests across Nigeria.

He recently revealed that every right-thinking Nigerian should try to join the movement as soon as possible.

According to him, the protests are the way to go because if nothing is done fast, Nigeria would disintegrate.

He added that the rottenness in Nigeria cannot be allowed to continue because this is our country and we have to make it work.

“The young people have finally come out to say enough is enough to the killing of their destinies, and this movement is highly endorsed by the Catholic bishops.”

“Every right-thinking Nigerian should endorse this movement, people we elected in positions of leadership are ruining this country.

“We cannot stay with this rottenness anymore. “You say that, this is the only country we have and all your investments are abroad, then who is fooling who? Our political leaders have been brutal to us by taking away our common wealth.

“The time has come for us to rework this country so we’ll not collapse into nothingness. We also advised the government not to launch any Crocodile whatever as many Nigerians are yet to join the protest.

“If Muhammadu Buhari would come out and plead for time so that they can sit down and rework this country, that, I think is the only way forward”.

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.
