#ENDSWAT: Protesters Want An Accountable Government – Genevieve Nnaji

Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji has come out to say that protesters do not believe FG is listening to them.

She recently revealed that since no one has been sacked, arrested, and charged for the murder of innocent protesters yet, their cries have fallen on deaf ears.

According to her, if there is no accountability from the leaders till now, the protesters have no choice but to keep demanding for justice.

She added that it is sad that the people elected by the people pay no attention when the same people expect a positive reaction from them.

Her words, “We don’t believe you are listening when nobody has been dismissed, arrested and charged for the murder of innocent protesters and citizens. Accountability is the first step to change. #EndSars #EndSWAT”

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.
