The Commissioner of Police, Federal Special Anti-Robbery
Squad, FSARS, Imohimi Edgal, has said that he is embarking on measures towards
implementing the directives of the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu.
He said henceforth, “no personnel of the FSARS will be
issued firearms except for guard duties, at the base and for immediate response
to violent crimes as they occur.”
Edgal further said that all FSARS teams on routine patrol
had been withdrawn in compliance with the IGP’s directive.
He further told reporters that “no FSARS personnel would
henceforth attend to any violent crimes except he was kitted in his approved
jacket to guide members of the public,”
In his word, “only FSARS operatives have the right to wear a
jacket with the inscription ‘FSARS’, all other states Special Anti Robbery
Squads, (SARS), which are commanded by state commissioners of police, are to
wear the inscription SARS without ‘F.'”
“Henceforth, maximum
disciplinary penalty awaits such policemen,” he stated.
