#EndSARS: Peter Obi Under Attack Over Akwuzu

By Emmanuel Adigwe

Former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi has come under social media attack following revelations that the operations of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Akwuzu got to its peak during his stewardship as governor.

GWG reports that the ongoing nationwide protest against police brutality and extra-judicial killings in the country fingered the Akwuzu SARS in Anambra State as among the worst culprits as it was once reported that bodies were dumped in Ezu River from the facility.

Since the protest against the brutality and extra-judicial killings of SARS started many persons have been quick to call the former commander of SARS in Anambra, James Nwafor, under whose watch many of the killings were alleged to have occurred.

Social media users are alleging that even if Nwafor may be the SARS commander but that Peter Obi was the governor during the period.

Some Nigerians took to the micro-blogging platform to question Obi’s judgment on the issue.
