The public discontent with SARS is an issue that needs to be effectively addressed. On April 16, 2014, men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Calabar, Cross River State, picked up a 300 level undergraduate of the University of Calabar (UNICAL), Derek Maurice, near his home.A day later, on April 17, Maurice was among the six detainees that were killed in custody even though the officers alleged they were killed in a gun duel.To cover up the extra-judicial killings, the officers involved sold the corpses of the victims to the Anatomy Department of UNICAL allegedly for N11,000 each.Over the past few days, the internet has been awash with a lot of anger directed towards one of the country’s most notorious law enforcement units.
