Some Twitter users praise the Ghana Police Service for its professionalism as a way to end SARS
The Ghana Police Service seems to have won the hearts of netizens on Twitter by the way they are very professional in the way they carry out their duties.
The accolades come from widespread protests in many African countries, especially Nigeria, over poor relations between citizens and security forces.
In recent days, Nigerians have been protesting their police force for brutalities against citizens.
This praise for the Ghanaian police came after a video of a man allegedly killed by the force’s Special Anti-Theft Squad (SARS) went viral.
SARS is a branch of the Nigerian police under the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) instituted to stop crime.
The #EndSARSNow protest was started online by some indigenous Nigerians, including celebrities who shared their own horrific experience under SARS.
Some claim that SARS, which is supposed to fight theft, kidnapping and violent clashes in the country, has gone out of its way to abuse citizens rather than protect them.
The turn to favor Ghana came when a Nigerian immigrant (in Ghana) shared an experience on Twitter about her encounter with the Ghana Police Service, which resonated with many Twitter users, especially foreigners, who then asked for such an emulation. professionalism in the country. Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Adedoyin Debbie, the Nigerian immigrant wrote on Twitter: “No kidding, the first time I saw the Ghanaian police and they stopped us on the way back to our Airbnb apartment around 2am, they were very nice. I was asleep and the Police woke me up to make sure I wasn’t kidnapped or something, after he confirmed he let us go. I felt safe in Ghana ”.
She continued: “I have never felt safe in Nigeria, I am always afraid of the police because they are rude, rude, they could kill you, extort you. They are all worse, the Police itself needs to REFORM, but not for ENDSARS ”.
Adedoyin Debbie’s tweet has set the trend for the Ghana Police Service on Twitter for a while and some users share similar experiences they encountered with the police.

I did my masters in Accra, GH and I can confirm that gh is indeed much safer than what we go through here. I used to drive from Accra with my car to koforidua leaving Accra at midnight without any fear … those who know the mountains can attest. Shameful!

God bless you, Doyin. I can confirm that. When you meet the Ghana Police, your mind is at rest. There was a time when a police officer assaulted a woman on a bank. It was big news for weeks until everyone started bombarding her with gifts, including a house!
Are Nigerian policemen so cursed?– Tunde (@ogbenibabalola) October 10, 2020
In Ghana, you can associate with a police officer and he will listen sensibly. You can be tired of your house at 2 in the morning and decide to take a walk and no one will harass you. Security in Ghana is everything we never had in Nigeria

This is a thank you tweet for the Ghana Police. I always find them because I go home very late and not once have they harassed me or made me feel unsafe. Is this an underrated blessing?
