In a series of tweet, Odanz said the solution to the SARS menace in the south lies solely on southerners.

He wondered what traditional leaders and state governments are doing over the killing of its people.

"If the traditional leaders and state governments are doing nothing, what are parents, pastors, Imams doing over the indiscriminate killings of their children and wards? he queried.

He added that if southerners do not act, SARS will continue to kill indiscriminately and hash tag will continue to trend.

Meanwhile, the police officers involved in the killing of Ifeanyi in Ajegunle, Lagos state, have been arrested. The Command also identified the killer policemen as: Inspector Adamu Usman, Sergeant Adeyeye Adeoye, Sergeant Kashim Tijani, Sergeant Lucky Akigbe, Sergeant Paul Adeoye, and Inspector Dania Ojo who is reportedly on the run.
