Lending her voice to #EndSars protest, Dr. Omobola Johnson, a former Minister of Communications Technology under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, narrated how her son was victimised by an operative of the special anti-robbery squad (SARS).
She made the revelation via Twitter on Saturday, October 10. Narrating the experience, she said her son was standing in front of their gate when the officer came and accused him of loitering. When her son tried to explain, the officer cocked his gun and threatened to shoot him. She wrote:
“My son was in front of our gate. He was told he was loitering. He was explaining that he lived there. The policeman cocked his gun and threatened to shoot him if he spoke again. My son kept quiet. Thank God he did. We really have to put an end to this #EndSarsNow”
“@PoliceNG #EndSarsNow . The tech industry is one of the fastest-growing in this country and has been for many years. It is highly dependent on young people. We will truncate this growth if we don’t stop this unwarranted harassment of our youth.”
