Nigerians on Twitter have launched a campaign calling on Twitter to deactivate the account of the Yomi Shogunle, the head of Police Public Complaints Rapid Response Unit.
The call started off on Thursday after he tweeted; “186 million Retweets to #EndSARS. Oya let’s go!” – a tweet ostensibly mocking and deriding citizens who are calling for Police reforms in the wake of increasing Police brutality targeted at innocent citizens.
186 million Retweets to #EndSARS.
Oya let’s go!— Abayomi Shogunle (@YomiShogunle) July 26, 2018
The #EndSARS campaign is a social-media mobilisation against widespread recklessness, abuse of office, assault on innocent civilian and killings by Police SARS officials.
Twitter has erupted with replies and tweets calling for the social media platform to shut down Shogunle’s account following his provocative tweet.
See a few tweets below:
Dear @jack,
On behalf of all well meaning Nigerians i ask that you take down @YomiShogunle‘s handle for being abusive and hateful, we Nigerians don’t want him here..
10k Retweets please.

You can actually report Yomi Shogunle account rather curse out at him. By the time many users report him as being abusive and offensive, he’ll be yanked of here. Teach this people you have power, stop bickering.

Yomi Shogunle is Trending
Dude is a poor signing and has been scoring Own goals all season.
But his Manager is very inept and lacks the right TRANSMISSION signal to effect his Transfer.

When I saw that Yomi Shogunle’s tweet, I felt hurt. Not angry, not sad, hurt. Zero empathy, zero sympathy, zero understanding.
Blatant disregard for the people you’re sworn to protect.
I reported him last night.
You should too.— Lex Ash (@TheLexash) July 27, 2018
Guys for the sake of Nigerians that have been assaulted & robbed by SARS & are yet to get Justice, lets kick this man @YomiShogunle out of twitter. He perverts the course of justice. I need 5000 tweeps to report this man’s account & click the option in red circle.

I’m sad for @YomiShogunle, & I mean it.
I’m sad for him because he is educated, relatively young, and smart.
But he CHOSE to be illogical, cruel, & most times outright stupid.
He sold his smartness for blood money.
The blood of innocent Nigerians.
Please report him.
