The Acting Inspector General of Police, (IGP) Mohammed Adamu, has announced an immediate scrapping of the Federal Special Anti Robbery Squad (FSARS) Special Investigation Panel (SIP) and Special Tactical Squad(STQ).
Adamu gave this order during his maiden inaugural conference as Acting IGP with Commissioners of Police and other senior officers in Abuja on Monday.
In place of the much criticised FSARS, will be a Special Anti-Robbery Squad domiciled in each of the 36 states under the direct supervision of the Commissioners of Police.
The Special Investigation Panel and IGP Special Tactical Squad, which were established by the former IGP, Ibrahim Idris have been widely condemned for their alleged notoriety. The former IGP had in the course of his tenure also centralised the operations of SARS into Federal SARS.
