Citizen is a column that explains how the government’s policies fucks citizens and how we can unfuck ourselves.


The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) has perhaps the biggest trust problem in Nigeria. The public has completely lost trust in this “Squad”, and it is clear that the unit needs to end.

Take note that till today, the President has still not said a word about the SARS killings and the #EndSARS protests. Meanwhile, the Governor of Lagos State did issue a statement but we have yet to see any tangible action in that regards.

Meanwhile, scores of young Nigerians who were protesting this night were harassed by officers of the Nigerian Police Force just yesterday night, the very people who these youths are protesting against.

Look, the government really needs to do something about SARS. And by something Nigerians mean that it should be scrapped. Enough is enough.
