A popular officer in the Nigerian Police Force has been captured on camera as he joins the call by thousands of Nigerians citizens to put an end to the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS).

The officer identified as Yomi Sars, gained popularity in the social media space after he came out to show off his talent as a singer, and has since began his career as a music artiste while doubling as a police officer.

In a video that is making rounds in the online community, the officer of the law was recorded at a social function with some friends, as he joined the camera handler in making a call for the end of SARS.

He repeatedly mouthed the words : “End SARS, end SARS”

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
