The #EndSARS campaign is a coordinated attack by cybercriminals — Lauretta Onochie

Lauretta Onochie, the Special Assistant to President Buhari on New Media, has said that the #EndSARS campaign by many Nigerians against police brutality and extra-judicial killings by security operatives in the country, is a coordinated attack by cybercriminals.
Onochie made the comment via her Twitter handle.
1. I have no doubt that there are some staff of SARS who are unprofessional in their dealings with d public, same way we have unprofessionalism in d Army, Mainstream Police, Customs, Civil Service, Public Service, traders, Lawyers, Doctors, journalists, teachers, pastors, etc.
2. But what is going on now, is a COORDINATED ATTACK BY CYBER CRIMINALS joined by UNSUSPECTING INNOCENT CITIZENS. This is not the first time. We must stand by our national institutions while working to improve their effectiveness. Thats what patriotism is about. NO SENTIMENTS.”she tweeted

  • That is very true, I agree with Lauretta’s statement wholeheartedly,and as a matter of fact, the banning of SARS will give room for cyber crime to thrive in Nigeria. SARS probably outlived its purpose long time ago, and they failed in handling issues with dexterous skills. Human beings are not animals…I would like to see a situation where newly trained security operatives are introduced with a view to checking our cyber activities in Nigeria. The truth of the matter is based on the fact that, these cyber criminals have done more harm to Nigeria’s image, and we can fold our arms and watch them continue with their nefarious activities.
