More videos of "Idowu SARS" with his gun out in public, violating the rights of Nigerian citizens. The Oyo State government and @PoliceNG should not allow this to go unpunished. This kind of lawlessness costs lives and makes people lose faith in the force. #NigerianLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/9QAIU5XLUZ
