Ace Nigerian rapper, Ruggedman for some time now has been in the fore front of championing the end SARS campaign.
The brutality of the Special Anti-Robbery (SARS) squad operatives and complaints made by Nigerians has become a common sight in their daily lives.
Ruggedman in a recent chat with Hip TV said it is heart-breaking that the people who are meant to protect Nigerians, are the people Nigerians need protection from.
“ It’s been heart breaking when you come to the realization that the people you are supposed to run to for protection, are the people you now need protection from .It is sad that nothing is being done about it by the powers that be. Everybody seems to be quiet about it, no Governor, no local government chairman, no President or Vice president has said anything about it”
On why he started condemning SARS brutality, he said: “I started speaking out about SARS even before I had any encounter with them. I am human, I am Nigerian and it is unfair to unlawfully arrest someone and beat them up, shoot them as seen in some cases. Right now, it’s a crime to SARS officers for you to look good, have a tattoo, and have a funky hairdo.It is one thing for you to be a celebrity , it’s another thing for you to use that status to impact positively on people”.
May God punish people looting Nigeria’s funds- Ruggedman
