Amid the violence that has characterized the End SARS protests in several parts of Nigeria, a host of prominent people have come out to share their harrowing experiences with the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

One of whom is Stanley Commodore, Chief Executive Officer of Black Eagle Entertainment. According to the music executive who spoke to online platform, Ghanaweb, he lost his brother in the hands of the now-defunct police unit.

He revealed his senior brother died over a small disagreement involving some officials of the security apparatus.

“I have been following the SARS thing very closely. I will say to you, I lost my brother last year, my senior brother,” he disclosed. “I don’t know if it was the SARS guys but he lost his life during something like this, it was a small disagreement,” he added.

The End SARS protest which began on October 8 across the country was a means by young Nigerians to address and vent their concerns on the growing spate of bullying, harassment, stealing, and extrajudicial killings by the special force.

The protest, originally meant to drive home the 5-point demand to the federal government, took a bad turn as men allegedly from the Nigerian Army opened fire on innocent protesters on Tuesday, October 20.

The non-profit organization, Amnesty International confirmed 12 people died from the shooting, despite Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State stating otherwise.

Meanwhile, the General Secretary of the Nigerian community in Ghana, Isaac Ekhator through a statement has warned Nigerians domiciled in Ghana to be mindful of laws of the host nation before embarking on any sort of protest.

According to him, Nigerians in Ghana may exercise their right to draw the attention of the home government to anomalies and aberrations in their home country but in ways and manners that would not disrupt the existing peace in Ghana and with other host countries.

His statement comes after famous Nigerian artist Zlatan led Nigerians living in Ghana to a successful protest at the Nigerian High Commission.
