Operatives of the disbanded
Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Anti Kidnapping Squad, Anti Cultism Squad
and Raider in Lagos State have been asked to hand over their operational
uniforms, attires and cases to the State CID, Panti.
The dissolved SARS have also been
warned to desist from parading themselves as SARS operatives or any other those
of any formation under any nomenclature.
The Lagos State Police
Commissioner, said this on Wednesday, while debriefing the officers at the
state police command headquarters, Ikeja.
In a statement by Lagos State
Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, Odumosu ordered their
satellite offices across the state be taken over and occupied by the nearest
Divisional Police Headquarters.
“The police boss seized the
opportunity to inform them officially of the formation of the new Special
Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT) to tackle armed robbery, kidnapping, violent
and other weapon-related crimes in the country, which is applicable to Lagos
State,” Adejobi said.
Members of the public have
therefore been urged to inform and report to the command of any activities or
misconduct of any police personnel claiming to be SARS operatives.
