BREAKING: IGP Disbands SARS Nationwide [Video]

The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has announced the disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigeria Police Force.

Adamu announced this in a live broadcast on Sunday.

The announcement came after days of online and offline protests against the brutality and extra-judicial killings by SARS operatives nationwide.

Meanwhile, approximately 100,000 people have unfollowed President Muhammadu Buhari on Twitter as a sign of protest of his management of the current policing crisis across the nation.

A new wave of protests to end the activities of the special anti-robbery squad of the Nigerian Police Force (SARS) has been sweeping across the globe in the last 96 hours, calling on the president to scrap that unit of the nation’s police.
