He made this known during the
#AskThePolice #ReformSARS interactive session on Tuesday.
The Twitter session was designed
to give citizens an opportunity to air their grievances about FSARS.
Gwandu said it was the duty of
the police to protect lives and properties, adding that the intervention of
FSARS is mainly on distress calls.
“The mandate of the FSARS is
enormous, to tackle violent crimes, armed robbery, kidnapping, cattle rustling,
etc.,” he tweeted.
“The FSARS are not directed by
anybody to stop and search except if there is a distress call for them to nip
in the bud such crime.
“It is not within the standard
operative procedure of the FSARS to dwell into indiscriminate arrest of
innocent Nigerians.”
While explaining how to identify
FSARS personnel, he said, “Our men must obey the code of conducts and also have
all the identities required before embarking on an operation.
“The IGP has provided the kits
for all personnel nationwide. No officer should be on duty without wearing
proper uniform.”
