POLICE DISMISS 4 SARS OPERATIVES FOR ROBBERY, OTHER CRIMES
The Nigeria Police Force has dismissed four operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) for their involvement in robbery and other criminal activities.
According to a statement issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Frank Mba, the dismissed operatives were found guilty of various offenses, including robbery, extortion, and other forms of misconduct.
The statement said that the decision to dismiss the operatives was taken after a thorough investigation into the allegations against them.
"The Nigeria Police Force has zero tolerance for any form of corruption, misconduct, or criminal activity by its personnel," the statement said. "We will continue to take decisive action against any officer found guilty of such offenses, no matter how highly placed they may be."
The dismissed operatives were identified as:
- Inspector Francis Obi, who was accused of robbing a businessman of N500,000;
- Sergeant Samuel Ogunyemi, who was accused of extorting money from a motorist;
- Corporal Adekunle Ademola, who was accused of stealing a phone from a citizen;
- Constable Olamide Adeyemi, who was accused of being involved in a robbery gang.
The police said that the dismissed operatives would be handed over to the appropriate authorities for prosecution.
The dismissal of the SARS operatives is seen as a major blow to the anti-robbery squad, which has been embroiled in controversy in recent times. The squad has been accused of human rights abuses, including extrajudicial killings, torture, and extortion.
The police have been under pressure to reform the squad and ensure that its operatives are held accountable for their actions. The dismissal of the four operatives is seen as a step in the right direction towards achieving this goal.
