CODE demands prosecution of erring SARS officers

The Connected Development (CODE) yesterday demanded that perpetrators of the police/SARS brutality and extrajudicial killings face the wrath of the law.

“There must also be a thorough investigation into all alleged SARSinduced disappearances and killings,” CODE Communications Director, Kevwe Oghide, said in a statement yesterday.

She tasked President Muhammadu Buhari on the security of citizens’ lives and property.

She added: “We commend the thousands of Nigerian youths that took to the streets over the weekend to protest and decry alarming police brutality, assault and wanton killing of young unassuming Nigerians by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.

“This shows that when advocacy is intentional and our voice is unified, citizens have the ability to spur the change we need to see. Nigerians should not be silent in the face of injustice but must continue to speak against it.”
