The National Association of Seadogs (NAS) also known as Pyrates Confraternity has appealed to the Federal Government to pay compensation to victims of police brutality during the #EndSARS protests across the country.

This was said through a statement signed by Mr Abiola Owoaje, NAS Capoon, in Abuja, on Tuesday,.

The association called for justice for those killed during the protests and equally appealed to police authorities to stop police officers on the street from shooting at innocent protesters expressing their human rights.

The group also requested that the police provide concrete plans on the ‘deep and incisive reforms to replace impunity with professionalism, and truly make the Nigeria Police a world-class outfit.’

The association insisted that SARS must not be shut down only in words and that the dreadful impunity that has unfortunately defined this must not be given another cycle of abuse of citizens and human rights.

The statement said that the police must truly march the word of #EndSARS with action, and not to cajole the citizens with another rubber stamp terminology.

It said; “We have received the announcement of the dissolution of the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) by the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, but the police authorities must march its word with action, #EndSARS must truly mean EndSARS”.

NAS also welcomed the idea of citizens and strategic stakeholder’s forum that would be an inclusive one with representation from all works of life to work with the police in investigating alleged cases of human rights violations.
