Yomi SARS believes SARS should not be ended because they protect the people
Police officer cum music artiste, Abayomi Ekundayo, aka Yomi SARS, has debunked claims that he joined the #EndSARS campaign.
Recall that a video surfaced online where he was caught on camera, calling for an end to the Squad.
Yomi told Sunday Scoop that as a policeman, he couldn’t say anything bad about the force regardless of the circumstances. He said; “
“Yes, I saw the post but there was no time I said end SARS. When I was about to leave a show in Surulere, Lagos, last Sunday, Zlatan Ibile saw me and started shouting ‘End SARS’. He was obviously joking while recording it. I then asked why he was shouting ‘End SARS’. That was what happened.”
Yomi SARS said the video didn’t disturb him because he knew he didn’t cross the line. He stated,
“The video is nothing. If it was an issue, I wouldn’t have allowed him to post it. Captions by bloggers made it look like I wanted to sabotage where I eat from. If SARS is ended, who will protect the people? I wish all policemen are social media savvy like me. I am sure if they see the killings on social media, they will be more cautious while discharging their duties.”
On insinuations that alcohol could be responsible for his action on the said night, Yomi SARS maintained that he stopped drinking four years ago.
