After the long Protest against SARS, the federal government finally heard the request of the masses. And decided to do what the people have been crying and agitating for. Today, the Inspector General of Police finally disbanded SARS, he gave an official statement saying that All SARS officials have been disbanded and they will be transferred to different units in the Police.

Well, From the look of so many reactions on social media, Most Nigerians are still not convinced about the Statement that the IGP made. They still want more than just a statement. Frank Edoho who is a Nigerian celebrity made a post about the Statement few hours after the announcement was made.

In his post, he said that since the President of the Federal Republic of the country feels that, his citizens are to small for him to address them on the issue, then the Inspector General of Police is too small for Nigerians to believe that SARS has been dissolved. Here is a screenshot of his post

Eye9ja reports that Makwashi released the list of dead persons on Monday, three days after Boko Haram ambushed the convoy of the Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum.

It was learnt that the governor’s convoy drove into an ambush by Boko Haram at a spot called Korochara, which is about 2km away from the base of the Multi-National Joint Task Force on the way to Baga from Monguno.

The attacked occurred when Zulum visited the Command Headquarters in Maiduguri, the state capital.

According to Makwashi, the affected officers are Mba Mathew; Ibrahim Muhammad; David Jarta; Jerry Joseph; John Barka; Elijah Gwarza; Eheboya Osaheinde; and Nura Aminu.

The commissioner of police told Zulum during his visit that the State Command had to break the sad news to the families of those in Maiduguri – the state capital – adding that some were still on their way.

Wives Of Deceased Call For Support
The wives of the slain officers have appealed to the governor for support during the trying moment.

Effa David Jarta who spoke on behalf of the widows said they received the news of the unfortunate incident that claimed the lives of their breadwinners in utter shock, adding that “it is not easy.”

“It is God’s design for them, everybody will die but our prayer is to consider us. Let the government see us and pay all the benefits of our husbands. This is all I have to tell you.”

Another one of the widows, identified as Mrs. Joseph thanked the governor for his visit but said, “consider us and the situation we are in.”

On his part, Zulum expressed deep regrets about the incident which he said was the first in 18 months since he became governor.

He assured the women of his commitment to support their livelihood and the education of their children.

“I am standing before you here, I am not here to just see you and go back. God willing we shall not let you down, we shall support you,” Zulum assured.
