Over the past nine months, numerous Nigerians have taken to social media to accuse officers of the unit of several misconducts ranging from harassment, extortion, assault to extra-judicial killings.
In a statement issued by Osinbajo's spokesperson, Laolu Akande, the Acting President ordered the IGP to shut down the unit "with immediate effect".
The statement read, "Following persistent complaints and reports on the activities of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) that border on allegations of human rights violations, His Excellency, Professor Yemi Osinbajo SAN, Acting-President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, has directed the Inspector General of Police to, with immediate effect, overhaul the management and activities of SARS and ensure that any unit that will emerge from the process, will be intelligence-driven and restricted to the prevention and detection of armed robbery and kidnapping, and apprehension of offenders linked to the stated offences, and nothing more."

DeleteIn a civilised society, the ruling party will immediately endorse VP Osinbajo to contest for President in 2019, but this can't happen in this our barbaric and stone age society, here its only old men with empty skulls and nothing to offer except corruption, nepotism and ignorance that will continue to justle for presidential office in a bid to lead the people to the grave. Osinbajo would have been a highly successful, much lived and respected no nonsense President.
ReplyDeleteYou're drunk if you actually believe the acting president can take any decision on his own without first consulting baba in London.
DeleteSee no difference here. Old wine in new bottle. All police officers whom might have served under that platform (SARS), ought to be dismiss from NPF with immediate effect. Cos that unit of NPF is highly infected with NRFH syndrome.
ReplyDeleteWrong idea... They shouldn't be dismiss. But that sars power is no longer dir
