#EndSARS: The Disbandment Of SARS Crushed The Morale Of The Police – Gov Yahaya Bello

Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has criticised the #EndSARS movement alleging that it was politically motivated against 2023 national election. Gov Bello further explained that the disbandment of the rogue police Unit F-SARS dampened the morale of the Nigerian police.

The Kogi State Governor who was on the Channels TV programme Sunrise Daily spoke about the disbandment of SARS, and how it was politically motivated with some trying to use it to sow the seed of discord among Nigerian youths along the line of ethnic and tribalistic agenda.

The governor reacted to the nationwide violence and looting by hoodlums in the aftermath of the #EndSARS protests, ascribing the looting to being just beyond the protest and blame a larger portion of it on COVID-19 and the lockdown of the country for nearly 6-months. Governor Yahaya Bello who described COVID-19 as a glorified Malaria said some people pushed the COVID-19 agenda on the country as means of siphoning money by some people in government and by some private individuals.

Governor Yahaya Bello further insinuated that the youths political awakeness should be that with tact, and shouldn’t be let used by some Old political cabals who have refused to pass on power to the youths who have decided to hold on to it in greed wrenching manners

“Now SARS has ended, police morale has been dampened, they have gone off the streets, and the hoodlums have taken to the streets. Who do we report to?” the governor asked during the programme.
