New igp mohammed adamu disbands fsars others
You're referring to the recent development in Nigeria!
On July 2, 2021, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, announced the disbandment of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) and other tactical squads of the Nigeria Police Force.
The decision was taken following widespread protests and calls for reform in the wake of allegations of human rights abuses, extrajudicial killings, and extortion by FSARS and other tactical squads.
The IGP announced the disbandment of FSARS and other tactical squads, including:
- Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS)
- Special Tactical Squad (STS)
- Intelligence Response Team (IRT)
- Special Strike Force (SSF)
The IGP also announced the establishment of a new unit, the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team, which will replace the disbanded tactical squads. The SWAT team will be trained to operate within the confines of the law and will be responsible for tackling armed robbery, kidnapping, and other serious crimes.
The decision to disband FSARS and other tactical squads was widely welcomed by Nigerians, who had been calling for reforms in the police force for years. However, the move has also been met with skepticism by some, who are concerned about the potential for the new SWAT team to perpetuate the same abuses as the disbanded units.
Only time will tell if the IGP's decision will lead to meaningful reforms in the Nigeria Police Force and improved relations between the police and the public.
