The Nigeria Police Force high command has declared that the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), which was disbanded on October 11, 2020, remains dissolved.
The Police Force headquarters made the declaration in a statement on Monday while debunking circulating rumours and misinformation speculating the return of the dreaded SARS with a reformed set of rules.
The statement signed by ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer, pointedly said that the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) is not back in operation.
ACP Adejobi said that the recent information regarding SARS reformation and rules of engagement should be treated with caution.
He urged Nigerians to verify the source of any information before accepting it as true.
In the words of Adejobi; “To ensure receiving accurate and reliable updates, citizens are advised to follow the official handles of the Nigeria Police Force on social media viz @PoliceNG on X, @ngpolice on Facebook, and @nigeriapoliceforce on Instagram.
“Your safety and awareness are paramount; stay informed and vigilant,” he said.
