Reports of brutality and extortion from the notorious Special anti-robbery squad (SARS) led to renewed called for their dissolution with the #EndSars campaign.
However the media aide notorious for her controversial takes blamed internet fraudster for the campaign.
She tweeted yesterday:
“I have no doubt that there are some staff of SARS who are unprofessional in their dealings with d public, same way we have unprofessionalism in d Army, Mainstream Police, Customs, Civil Service, Public Service, traders, Lawyers, Doctors, journalists, teachers, pastors, etc.
“But what is going on now, is a COORDINATED ATTACK BY CYBER CRIMINALS joined by UNSUSPECTING INNOCENT CITIZENS.
This is not the first time. We must stand by our national institutions while working to improve their effectiveness. Thats what patriotism is about.
NO SENTIMENTS.”

Her view of the situation have however not gone down well with Nigerians.
Renowned activist, Sega links, in a vicious attack, blamed Lauretta’s comments on demonic attacks on her thinking.
Things you say when demonic forces are having a coordinated attack on your thinking faculty. We commiserate with her family and wish her a speedy recovery. #MentalHealthAwareness https://t.co/nrvq5J1DoA

Some others feel Lauretta is anti-people
Such a disappointing statement to come from a presidents aide. She should be removed from such a position immediately because if she feels anytime we are crying out for a help must be political then she is absolutely heartless, clueless & doesn’t deserve to be serving Nigeria

That tweet from madam Lauretta Onochie is really insensitive. This really shows why the presidency is always silent on the cry of d citizens. They always have this notion that the attack happens to a few bad ones that in turn sponsor these agenda.

We are the ones on the street.
Many also feel Lauretta is only a reflection of the lack of substance in President Buhari’s cabinet.
For Lauretta Onochie to be on Buhari's payroll as a social media aide….should give you a depiction of the average IQ in the presidency. They all lobbied for their positions anyways.. cos competence and Nigerian govt are words and opposite! 🤦🏽♂️

You cannot have Lauretta Onochie on your media team and you expect people to take your administration seriously.

Baba fit nor ever de aware of any Lauretta Onochie. 😂
Many feel her actions are ill-befitting of a person of her age considering she also has kids.
If you're Lauretta Onochie's child, I'm sorry (or not) for the kind of embarrassment you have to deal with.

Lauretta Onochie as a mother and a woman, you are a big disgrace to womanhood and humanity.

I feel sorry for Lauretta Onochie's family and kids. How can a grown woman consistently embarrass herself like this? How is this woman of one Buhari's media aides? Who dare you? Who bring you? How did she exist? Where did she form? How? Who?….
