He assured Nigerian youths that his ministry has called for immediate investigation to unravel the truth about SARS operations.

The statement read: “The ministry of youth and sports is worried about the menace, increasing harassments and attacks by SARS, especially targeted at youths and other innocent members of the public, and brought it to the attention of the relevant security agencies in Abuja.

“The minister who has also been monitoring the reports of alleged SARS harassment and attacks, has called for immediate investigation to unravel the truth.”

He assured that the government will look into the matter in order to protect the rights of Nigerians.

“The ministry wishes to assure that this government, through relevant security agencies, will step into the matter to protect our youths and the fundament human rights of every Nigerian,” the statement added.
