EndSARS: ‘Protests Won’t Stop Now Because Govt Is Not Listening To The People’ – Activist Segalink
Popular human rights activist, Segun Awosanya better known as Segalink, has on Saturday said the protest against Special Anti-Special Robbery Squad (SARS) would not stop yet because the government is not listening to the outcry against the police unit.
Featuring on Channels Television’s programme, Sunrise Daily, Segalink, convener of the EndSARS campaign, explained that the anti-SARS protest is a call to end impunity.
According to Segalink;
The protests will continue to go on because the authorities are not listening to the people, if they listen enough all the things we are seeing today we told them before now but they are not listening.
We told the authorities that it will get to this point if they continue to be insensitive to the cry of the people and what are they asking for? they are saying shut down impunity.
He added;
ENDSARS simply means end impunity, the culture of impunity where people get away with crime.
If an armed robber commits crime with a gun, we know what the penalties are but what about a police officer who is maintained by taxpayers money and use the state’s gun to rob innocent citizens and he gets to be transferred and we keep seeing him.
The activist expressed;
If you call a unit within the police system, special tactical squad, special anti-robbery squad or special anti-robbery squad and they are no longer special, they are all over the place collecting bribes, seizing people, indiscriminately killing people, how do you want people to feel towards that?
