From Ugheli to the world: how the end SARS biggest protest started in Nigeria
SARS which means special anti-robbery squad has been a problem to Nigerian youths, and other citizens traveling into the country from the diaspora as claimed by victims.
SARS is just a small unit in the Nigerian police force but their constant brutality, extortion, and killings have become something of great concern to the general public.
According to the name given to SARS unit (special anti-robbery squad), their major concern was to fight against robbery and kidnapping cases in the country, but they hardly go after such criminals as they now go after young and smartly dressed youth who own gadgets like laptops and iPhone which is a normal device found with youths in other parts of the world.
When SARS stops a young unarmed man on the road they first ask him for his phone, they force the victim to open the phone while they go through the person’s social media chat and phone contents.
The reason for doing this is to check if the victim is into internet fraud if they found their victim guilty, they ask them to transfer a huge sum of money into their account, some of their victim decline to send money to SARS because they stand on the ground that they are not into fraud, this decline to send money might either lead to severe brutality or the death of the victim.
