Some Nigerians have expressed concerns on the competency and integrity of Head of Public Complaint Rapid Response Unit of the Nigerian Police, Abayomi Shogunle, over his recent tweet concerning the #EndSars campaign.
In the message posted to Twitter on Thursday evening, Shogunle said he needs 186 million retweets for the #EndSars campaign.
“186 million Retweets to #EndSARS. Oya let’s go!” he wrote.
The tweet didn’t go down well with Nigerians as many saw his tweet as a mockery of the campaign that wants to see an end to the brutality suffered by Nigerians in the hands of men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
Below are some of their tweets.
FG is paying Yomi Shogunle to keep Nigeria safe with our taxes yet he’s raising his family in the UK.
He should be relieved of his job for this and many more offences, it shows how incompetent he is.#ReportYomiShogunle#EndSARS #ReformPoliceNG pic.twitter.com/s28HBsQSAw— Hawt 💖💕 🇨🇦 (@cute_pecky) July 27, 2018
I am joining @YemieFASH @segalink and other well meaning Nigerians to report the account of Yomi Shogunle.
The man is irresponsible, heartless and unpatriotic. He is a devil in human form. How could he ask us for 186million retweets before we can #EndSARS ? pic.twitter.com/5wnZoJmpnb

Nigeria is such a mess that SegaLinks does Yomi Shogunle’s work & Yomi Shogunle regularly makes a mockery of Nigerians death. We can only report him to twitter for justice because our GOVT supports him. DISGRACE

Can’t take this government serious when people like Yomi Shogunle represent a critical arm of the Police force. Tueh.

I’m going to do mine right now. Yomi Shogunle needs to be taught the act of civility and responsibility by fire by force. We’re powerful than the position he occupies.

This idiot thinks he is mocking the outcry of Nigerians, Ibrahim Idris will not be IGP for life and Buhari will not be President for life. Nigerians will one day mock Yomi shogunle, He will surely pay for his wickedness against Nigerians. #EndSars #ReformPoliceNG pic.twitter.com/OALhe3bHU9

We give unwanted attention to idiots. Then they feel relevant enough to display their stupidity. That’s what Yomi Shogunle is doing.

Take a look at that Yomi Shogunle Guy, a top police officer who’s supposed to be the public face of police yet he displays his insensitive attitude in the most despicable manner here almost everyday.

Days ago, Yomi Shogunle excused Nigeria Police brutality by referencing a Ghanaian officer who beat a woman in a bank.
Is he aware the police officer has been punished, and the Ghanaian President gave a speech to support the punishment?
Yomi is a real-life idiot.

I can’t wait for the day I’ll open my twitter, and see, “Just in: Yomi Shogunle sacked, SARS disbanded”. Soon. Amen.
— Ntunkae Ugo (@AdaOhafia) July 21, 2018
Yomi Shogunle is not fit to be a Police Officer talk more of heading any Unit of the Force. Nigeria has no standard at all

Imagine Yomi Shogunle top trend for a bad reason. Police can’t be our friend, if Yomi is still an officer. #SackYOMIShogunleNOW #ReportYomiShogunle #EndSARS

While we are all seeking to rid our Country of crimes of the rogue police officers, @YomiShogunle openly covers up their crimes. Report Yomi Shogunle’s handle today as being abusive & hateful. Retweet, unfollow & report
