This comes even as Nigerians continue to demand an end to the incessant harassment, extortions, and extrajudicial killing of citizens by members of the police force, especially Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
Recall Peter Obi, a former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Vice Presidential candidate, on Sunday denied using operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, to harass people of Anambra State while we was governor.
Obi explained that he only supported SARS operatives with operational vehicles and logistics but never armed them to harass citizens.
