He felt that there should be a probe into the activities of the authorities as officials have allegedly resorted to extorting millions of Naira from Nigerian families.
He said: “ We definitely will have to fight back soonest as Abuja SARS and @officialEFCC have started taking turns at robbing families of millions after illegal raid.
”EFCC collected a total of N2.9 million as ransom to free the captives and SARS as at yesterday have gone to raid same people.

According to the activist, officials have abducted 15 people from the same families and now are demanding N500,000 per person to secure their release. The activist also revealed that the persons were wrongfully accused of cyber fraud.
He said: “They’re demanding N500k per head having abducted 15 human beings and arbitrarily accusing them of cyberfraud.
”These organised crime syndicates have proven to be above the law and it is time we respond as a society. #EndImpunity @policeNG_CRU @AcpIshaku

Most of these tactical squads have no other purpose than to oppress the people. How many armed robbery gang has SARS busted? But daily raid of young boys under the guise arresting internet fraudsters is now their job. Daily ransom is their new modus operandi.

The @officialEFCC is the hub of corruption and until society rise against them they will not stop their abductions and extortions. Who demands millions from families under economic hardship? Why are SARs trining kidnappers demanding ransom in millions?! Where is the Govt on this?

The IGP should call order an investigation into the madness before law and order is threatened. The IPO in charge is named EVANS (no pun intended) so I’m not surprised at his entitlement to demand ransom after asbucting 15 people for for merely being alive in their homes.

Most offices are still locked down. Our youth Corp members are at home yet ignorant rogues in the @PoliceNG are raiding homes because there are too many young people around? Where do you want parents to put them under covid19? Have you all lost your marbles?! @BBCAfrica
