Following the scrapping of Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) by the federal government, the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) have called for similar action the nation’s security apparatus, particularly the Service Chiefs.

In a statement on Tuesday titled, “Northern Elders Forum on Developments Related to Policing Nigeria”, signed by the Forum’s Director, Publicity and Advocacy, Dr. Hakeem Baba Ahmed said the energy deployed to remove SARS should also be directed to protect north from insecurity currently ravaging the region.

“The Forum demands that the spirit deployed against SARS should be visited on policing and securing the North. We further demand a complete overhaul of our policing and security agencies, starting with the removal of Service Chiefs and the involvement of responsible opinion in initiatives that will address the manner the nation is designed to be policed and secured.

“We appeal to fellow Nigerians to show the highest levels of restraint and maturity in the manner we organize the defence of our rights. Under no circumstances should we encourage acts that increase our exposure to crime, lawlessness and insecurity.

“The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has noted the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari to order the scrapping of the much-maligned Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS), and reorganization and investigations into excesses of the outfit.
The Forum notes that this decision should be placed in the context of the huge demands that had been made for the President to address serious shortfalls in our policing and security institutions.

“There have been many abuses that ought to have been checked by this and earlier administrations, but were ignored or treated with levity owing to very low levels of respect for accountability. It is a sad commentary on the manner this administration approaches sensitive matters such as security of citizens that it had to be forced into taking this decision after serious damage to the integrity and credibility of our policing and security institutions.

“The Forum reminds President Buhari that hundreds of thousands of people in Northern communities have been at the mercy of bandits, kidnappers and rustlers without any form of police protection. It is clear that many things are seriously wrong with our policing and security institutions, if the same institutions will be accused of extra-judicial acts by some citizens, and virtual non-existence by other citizens. It is not acceptable that thousands of our fellow citizens in the North will be virtually abandoned to armed criminals and a vicious insurgency, and the Nigeria police will get a slap on the wrist for acts that go against the core of its mandate in other areas of its responsibility”. The statement said.

    The criminals nickname northern leaders are fulani cattle rearing touts from Guinea. Fulani cattle rearing touts from Guinea who violently established the fraud nickname fulani caliphate with its emirates in 1804. Fulani caliphate with its emirates which made 90% of the governors, NASS members, traditional rulers in the north fulanis, made from Ahmadu Bello to Buhari fulanis. Fulani caliphate with its emirates which control the 19 states of the north and Abuja, by so doing, northern natives and southern natives has no say democratically. Fulani caliphate with its emirates which control PDP, APC political parties, by so doing, this territory natives who are politicians are slaves of fulani caliphate with its emirates, implement policies of fulani caliphate with its emirates. Policies of fulani caliphate with its emirates which subdue this territory natives under fulani rulership. Fulani caliphate with its emirates nickname FG use the criminals nickname military and police to subdue this territory natives under fulani rulership. Fulani caliphate with its emirates nickname FG frustrates economic developments of this territory natives to make this territory natives poor and subdue them under fulani rulership.

    Existence securities and future of this territory natives depends on end of fulani caliphate with its emirates with the Sword in the ongoing Revolution War under the natives Disintegrated Republics.

    Fulani caliphate with its emirates nickname FG is dead.

    The fraud nickname Nigeria has fallen and gone forever- it is Yugoslavia of Africa. The six geopolitical zones are sovereign states.

    Kill fulani thugs nickname military and police on the streets, in their barracks etc. and take their weapons, Burn Down their barracks etc. and take their weapons for liberation of this territory natives from the bondage of fulani caliphate with its emirates. Only the Sword decides.
