In a last-minute bid to stop the proposed protest against the SARS led by controversial musician, Naira Marley, the Nigerian police have reached out to the Nigerian youths, to forget about going on a protest, because according to them, the complaints of the youths against SARS, has been heard loud and clear.
Replying to Naira Marley’s tweet calling for a protest, the Nigerian police, with a Twitter, handle @PoliceNG, appealed to the youths not to proceed on a protest.

“The Inspector-General of Police wishes to inform Nigerian youths that their voices and complaints on the issues of unprofessional conducts by some SARS operatives have been heard very loudly and clearly” the Nigerian police tweeted.
The youths were surely not impressed by this tweet, judging by their responses. Here are some of the responses..
@Kaycee-justin wrote, “we have been hearing this story from you since 2017, yet the same old story.”
@RitaEke wrote, “Hope this is not a trap to deceive us as usual?”
@papaheyes wrote, “Why is this government so afraid of peaceful protest.”
