#EndSARS: Falz Recalls His Encounter With SARS Officials In Lagos



Singer, Folarin Falana popularly know as Falz has joined the league of celebrities who have shared their experience at the hands of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

Following the hashtag #EndSARS  that has been trending on social media as more and more people reveal their harsh treatment at the hand of the officials, unbelievable stories of brutality from the squad has been making the rounds,

While speaking with NET in an interview in preparation for his first concert  ‘The Falz Experience’, the singer said,


“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.”“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 concluded.
