Anambra state Governor, Chief Willie Obiano said that former Awkuzu SARS Commander, James Nwafor will be relieved of his political appointment and recommended for immediate prosecution, along with other SARS officials that abused their offices.

The Governor, who disclosed this on Thursday, October 15th, 2020, while addressing the #ENDSARS protesters at the Government House, Awka, said that effective tomorrow, all illegal detainees in various SARS formations in the state will be released, while officers found wanting will be prosecuted.
