Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has banned the personnel of the dreaded Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and other ‘Tactical Squads’ of the Force from operating on Nigerian roads.

This directive was contained in a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, on Sunday afternoon.

The ban is coming on the hills of cries by Nigerians online who are calling for the abolition of the police unit, SARS.
