The Acting Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has ordered the immediate disbandment of the Federal Special Anti Robbery Squad (FSARS), Special Investigation Panel and Special Tactical Squad.

A report by Channels TV quoted Adamu as announcing this on Monday at his inaugural conference with Commissioners of Police and other senior officers in Abuja.

“Based on the new directive, there will now be a Special Anti-Robbery Squad domiciled in each of the 36 states under the direct supervision of the Commissioners of Police,” the report said.

“The IGP Special Investigation Panel and IGP Special Tactical Squad were established by the former IGP, Ibrahim Idris, who also centralised the operations of SARS into Federal SARS,” the report said.
