Yomi Shogunle Under Fire For Asking For 186 Million Retweets To End SARS
Yomi Shogunle, the Assistant Commissioner Of Police has come under fire for tweeting about the Special Anti-Robbery Squad #EndSARS campaign.
Shogunle has always stated that he is a firm believer that videos surfacing on the internet about SARS are mere allegations against the Police institution. He has also restated that there must be a burden of proof to show that there was a brutality.
However, he finally agreed to #EndSARS on the condition that Nigerians retweet his #EndSARS tweet 186 million times:
186 million Retweets to #EndSARS.

You sir, need to go for a training on Emotional Intelligence.
You don’t know how to use your mental capabilities to understand your environment’s emotions.
Regardless of what SARS or #ENDSARS stands for, it shouldn’t be a joke. And honestly, this is low

Some have a different opinion:
Egbon @YomiShogunle I know you are not a bad person. But you can do better. My dad retired as a CSP so I understand small. Just be better.
