Governor says SARS will be used to rig 2019 election
Wike said this while hosting the Board of Editors of Sun Publishing Limited at the Government House in Rivers.
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state has said that men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) are being prepared by the government to rig the 2019 election.
This is coming as Nigerians on social media have been calling for the scrapping of the police team.
Wike also said that the reported review of SARS is just aimed at shifting the focus of Nigerians from their atrocities.
According
to Tribune, he said this while hosting the Board of Editors of Sun
Publishing Limited at the Government House in Rivers.
He said “SARS
is being prepared for the rigging of elections in 2019. Time has come
for people to resist these criminals in uniform because they cannot kill
everyone.
“SARS has not helped
in Rivers State. Rather, they perpetrate criminal activities. With the
sustained activities of SARS, Nigeria is heading for disaster.”
Senate investigates SARS
