The lawmaker representing Akinyele Constituency 1 at the Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon Ayotunde Fatokun has commended Nigerian youths for leading a peaceful protest that led to the dissolution of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
Ayo Fatokun who doubles as the Chairman Parliamentary Council, urged them to continue on the path, as this is how nations are built, adding that the action of SARs is not just a flagrant abuse of power, but a societal menace that affects everyone.
Fatokun in a statement signed and made available to GOAL POACHER NEWS in Ibadan said “SARS, Police brutality has been the topic of many discussions, particularly with regards to human rights violations and harassment.”
“Beyond scrapping SARS, he called for the reform of the Police and by extension other security agencies in the country to boost their efficiency in delivering better security cover to the people.
According to him, “we were recently on-lookers as Americans gathered en masse to demand police reform, many of us shared the hashtags and the frustrations, but these same issues are occurring here at home and Nigerians have decided that enough is enough.” Fatokun concluded.
