Atiku Abubakar has also voiced his opinion concerning the trending topic on social media, #EndSARS, which seeks the abolishment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, popularly known by the acronym SARS.
Nigerians recently took to the microblogging platform, Twitter, protesting excesses of the SARS policemen.
In a couple of tweets, Atiku said the protest shows that Nigerian youths are angry, urging the Federal Government to urgently address the matter.
In October, a lady, Kachi Anifela Zion, accused officers of SARS in Ilorin of sexual molestation. She said a male SARS official under the pretense of searching her, dipped his hand in her underwear.
She further revealed that the SARS official threatened to beat her if she shouted, adding that the officer continued to fondle, rough handle and humiliate her for several minutes. The SARS official implicated in the matter was later arrested.
