SARS disbandmen­t: Shine your eyes, Marafa tells Buhari

- By Ismail Mudashir

Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa yesterday urged President Muhammadu to shine his eyes, saying the end Special Anti-Robbery Squad protests in parts of the country was actually targeted at his administra­tion.

Marafa who was a frontline governorsh­ip aspirant of the APC in Zamfara State in 2019 general election, said the scrapping of SARS would do more harm than good.

“The president needs to shine his eyes and be very careful. The president may be playing into the hands of his enemies. My take is that some people are eager to do away with this government by anyhow. By staging this protest to call for the disbandmen­t of the SARS, I’m afraid we may be descending into greater problems, especially where I come from. At the end, the same people will come out to accuse the government of failing from protecting the lives of the citizens,” he said.

“I can tell you the protest is not about SARS, it is about this government. Some people, maybe are unhappy with this government and maybe they want to ignite problem from somewhere. One thing may lead to the other, before you know it, it will become a national problem. Can we live without SARS, in one form or the other? It is not possible,” he said.
