Following the ongoing campaign for the SARS squad to be
scrapped, Falz, has shared his experience with the officials
of the Special Anti-robbery Squad (SARS).
Narrating his ordeal, the rapper who is also a lawyer, told
the NET NG, “on this particular day, they spotted us
somewhere in Lagos and doublecrossed us, they then asked
us to come down from our car. My manager tried to have a
conversation with them but before he knew it, they gave him
a dirty slap, he was close to tears. They said they would
arrest us and take us their station. I wanted to sue them,
not as a lawyer, but solely because they violated my human
rights, but then, it is really sad that they think because they
have guns, they think they are in a position of power and
they use these to oppress poor Nigerians.”
While suggesting a possible solution, Falz has an advice for
the authorities; “The entire police force needs a revamp. The
problem is that so many of them are not as educated as
they should be, so they treat people in a certain way. People
are speaking up because things have gone out of hand.
These are the men who are supposed to protect us, but they
are opening fire on us. They have resulted to targeting
young guys. These days, once they see a young man
looking flashy, they automatically think you are a yahoo
boy” , he added
Falz whose real name is Folarin Falana is set to headline
his first show, ‘The Falz Experience, on the 20th of
December.
