See Reno Omokri’s Comparison Of SARS/SWAT And NEPA/PHCN – #EndSWAT—-Since the announcement of the new Special Weapons and Tactics, SWAT by the IG Mohammed Adamu, criticisms and reactions have trailed in from all and sundry.
The former aide of Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri has also taken to his twitter page on Tuesday to react to this new unit, describing it as a Greek gift.
He insisted that the change of name from SARS to SWAT will amount to nothing as it is same set of officers that will be recruited into the new squad.
He also compared this tactics of the government to when they changed NEPA to PHCN without any noticeable change in performance.
He tweeted:
“The SWAT announced by the @PoliceIGP is a Greek Gift. Without weeding out errant cops and recruiting new blood, who must go through a different and better training than SARS, the SWAT will just be like when NEPA changed to PHCN #ENDSARS #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria#SARSMUSTEND.”
Omokri also highlighted the President Muhammadu Buhari’s dogginess regarding matters that are of public importance.
He said,
“General @MBuhari was asked to bring his WAEC certificate, instead, he brought 13 SANS. He was asked to #EndSARS and he brought SWAT ti SWAT us. He was asked to restructure Nigeria and he threw the National Conference resolutions in the dustbin.”
“SWAT was set up in 1964 to suppress the riots that sprang up during the Civil Rights movement in America. Please research this yourself. And now that Nigerians are fighting for their Civil Rights, General @MBuhari’s government comes up with SWAT?”
“They don’t even have original ideas. Because @MBuhari changed from khaki to agbada, they think they can change from SARS to SWAT
