The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba on Thursday said there was no plan for the re-establishment of the defunct Special Anti – Robbery Squad (SARS).
In a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer Force Headquarters, Abuja, Frank Mba described the trending news report suggesting that the Inspector-General of Police plans to bring back the SARS as false.
The IGP emphasised that there is no plan whatsoever to bring back the disbanded SARS. He said SARS is gone for good and will not resurrect under any guise whatsoever.
The IGP noted that the Force has since reorganised its operational structure to fill the vacuum created by the disbandment of SARS.
He said the leadership of the Force is focused on efforts at deepening reforms within the police and bequeathing Nigerans a police force that will be more effective, efficient, technology-driven, humane and rule of law-compliant.
The IGP called on members of the public to disregard the report which is absolutely false and deliberately intended to dis-inform and misinform members of the public.
