The Inspector-General of Nigeria Police, Mohammed Adamu, has abolished the most dreadful outfit of the force, the Special Anti-robbery Squad (SARS).
Adamu made the announcement on Sunday, following public objection and protests demanding a scrapping of the unit based on series of allegations connected with brutality and human rights violations.
“The Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigerian Police, otherwise known as SARS, is hereby dissolved across all formations, the 36 state police command and the Federal Capital Territory where they currently exists,” the IGP said.
Also in a statement, the Force Public Relations Office, Force Headquarters, Dcp Frank Mba, said that “the dissolution of SARS is in response to the yearnings of the Nigerian people”.
“The Force is not oblivious of the ever-present need to combat armed robbery, kidnapping and other violent crimes in the country which was before now the core mandate of the erstwhile Squad”.
