Lauretta Onochie, aide to President Buhari on Social media has claimed that #EndSARS movement is a coordinated attack by cyber-criminals to villify the security operatives.
Nigerians on Sunday launched a massive attack online to protest the illegal activities of operatives of Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) on civilians.
Celebrities such as award-winning artistes Wizkid, Davido, Falz all lent their voices to the cause. The online protest was so massive #EndSARS, #EndSARSbrutality trended on Nigerian social space for over 15hours.
This led to the ban of FSARS from embarking on routine patrols, stop and search duties by Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu.
However, Lauretta Onochie believes #EndSARS movement is a coordinated attack by cybercriminals using innocent citizens as tools to wage war against security operatives.
In a thread of tweets, Buhari’s aide said,
“I have no doubt that there are some staff of SARS who are unprofessional in their dealings with d public, same way we have unprofessionalism in d Army, Mainstream Police, Customs, Civil Service, Public Service, traders, Lawyers, Doctors, journalists, teachers, pastors, etc.
“But what is going on now, is a COORDINATED ATTACK BY CYBER CRIMINALS joined by UNSUSPECTING INNOCENT CITIZENS.

“NO SENTIMENTS.”
