ENDSARS: WHY THE NORTH IS RELUCTANT TO JOIN THE CRUSADE.



By: Silas Shentukwak

I m compelled to write this piece after analysing the ongoing#EndSARS protests by Nigerians demanding the end of the tactical squads SARS.

We are all unmindful of the fact that SARS have been unleashing terror in some parts of the country especially in the South South, South East and South West.

The protests did not gain momentum in the Northern part of Nigeria because the north had not experience 2% of the brutality and harasment of SARS.

Another factor is that those in the other parts of the country I had mentioned earlier never supported plight of the northern people, for instance when they cried for End to Boko Haram, End to Banditry and Kidnapping, they always roar back that "it's northern affair, they should deal with it" because they don't see or feel the agony and pains they are passing through.

Now that they are worst hit by the venom of SARS they want everyone to join them because it affects them directly. Worst of it, they see anyone opposed to this as an enemy of the people.

How did we get here in the first place. SARS is one of the 14 units in the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department which was established in 1992 during the regime of General Ibrahim Babangida to detain, investigate and prosecute people involved in crimes like armed robbery, kidnapping and other forms of crimes. 

In 2009, after several years of operations the squad grew in number and strength. Due to the surge of internet fraudsters and cultism in universities.

SARS operatives had infiltrated Nigerian universities, made several successful arrest but in the process harassed innocent youths.

However SARS became a national scourge that a witch-hunt machinery against Nigerian youth with dreadlocks, piercings, cars, expensive phones and risque means of expression.

Why is all these things not happening in the North, they don't have criminals? Or the SARS in the order region are different with the ones in the North. I will allow you ponder on it.

For a feasible United Nigeria, until the problem of the north becomes the problem of the South, east and west, vise versa, then we continue to revolve around in shackles.

The effects has threats especially the under developed country of which relies on the other country for  the importation of goods and services mostly food and other items into  the country.  Bauchi state lacked qualitative education, down starting from unqualified teachers, lack of proper supervision and inspection of the school activities by those concerns.
