With the recent spate of kidnappings and robbery it is most profound as the criminals also now dress up as men on the Nigerian security forces. If this was only the case, rooting out such miscreants will be an easy task but alas, it isn't.
The difference between the men of the Nigerian security forces and that of criminals continues to dwindle each day as their activities become even more similar.
Tales of extortion at gunpoint from the hands of SARS officials, rape and kidnap by soldiers and other sordid stories are what people who ply the highways have to share.
One of such tales is currently a matter of discussion on Twitter as a Nigerian man based in Netherlands who is in the country for the festive period was robbed of N600,000 by member of the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS).
The Nigeria police via its Twitter handle has promised to look into the issue, but their method of solving this menace has not got Nigerians satisfied.
