The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Abubakar Adamu, on
Tuesday, ordered that closure of all Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS)
satellite offices.
The directive followed Monday’s protests in Sagamu against
SARS.
The people had marched against the killing of Remo Stars
Football Club player, Tiamiyu Kazeem aka Kaka, in Ogun State.
Adamu announced the scrap when he accompanied Governor Dapo
Abiodun, on a condolence visit to home of the deceased Vice-Captain of Remo
Stars.
The IGP was represented by Deputy Inspector General of
Police, in-charge of Research and Planning, Peter Ogunyanwo.
He ordered that all activities at the satellite offices
should be handed over to Commissioners of Police in the state.
Adamu assured that everyone responsible for his death would
be prosecuted accordingly.
Abiodun and the delegation also visited the Akarigbo of
Remoland, Oba Babatunde Ajayi.
The Governor said: “Today, I was on a condolence visit to
the residence of Tiamiyu Kazeem’s parents.
“Tiamiyu, who was until his death, a vice captain of the
Remo Stars Football Club died in an unfortunate encounter with some men of the
Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) who were on an illegal mission.
“Kaka’s death is irreversibly regrettable because Ogun State
has lost a man of unexplored talents.
“But this long-awaited, significant reform within the
structures of the Nigerian Police assures us of an end to such anomalies,” the
governor added.
