The Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba has said that there is no iota of truth in the news report making the rounds online and offline suggesting that he has ordered the re-establishment of the defunct Special Anti – Robbery Squad (SARS).
The IGP who spoke through the Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba in a statement in Abuja on Thursday emphasized that there was no plan whatsoever to bring back the disbanded SARS insisting that SARS was gone for good and would not resurrect under any guise whatsoever.
The IGP noted that the Force had since reorganized its operational structure to fill the vacuum created by the disbandment of SARS.
“Currently, the leadership of the Force is focused on efforts at deepening reforms within the Police and bequeathing Nigerians a Police Force that will be more effective, efficient, technology-driven, humane and Rule of Law-compliant”, he said.
The IGP, therefore, called on members of the public to disregard the report which he said was absolutely false and deliberately intended to disinform and misinform members of the public.
