The police is set to address widespread abuses by officers
of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, amidst complaints by Nigerians that the
department has allegedly become a cluster of criminals in uniform.
This is coming after widespread allegations of
extra-judicial killings, torture, wanton arrests for bribes and other menacing
conducts flooded social media since Saturday, with citizens taking their rage
to the Internet and demanding action.
"Fam, I know it so disheartening seeing some officers acting
uncivilized and unruly. I sympathize with Nigerians who must have found
themselves in such situations and believe me the authority is not happy about
it! Trust me the authority have taken actions on this issue.!" Assistant
police spokesperson, Aliyu Giwa, wrote on Twitter.
