The Nigeria police have made it clear to Nigerians that they would not scrap their Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), despite aggressive campaigns against the outfit.

The campaign against SARS followed several incidents of brutality, abuse and harassment reported against operatives of the police department.

But Police Public Relations Officer Jimoh Moshood vowed that the criminals won’t have their way.

He said those carrying out the campaign ob the social media were armed robbers, adding that the anti-robbery unit had done a lot to sanitise the country.

“Anybody calling for scrapping of SARS is an armed robber, let him come forward so that we can investigate him,” he told Vanguard.

”Any complaints they give against any police personnel, everybody knows that we don’t hide it.

“We have a Public Complaints Bureau which handles complaints. So if anybody is calling for scrapping of SARS, we don’t need to be reminded that they are criminals just using the social media.

“If there are robbers that are operating and Special Anti-Robbery Squad engage them and somebody would now put something in the social media and say they should scrap SARS, I think it’s unfortunate.”

Moshood also asked well-meaning Nigerians to disregard what it described as so-called special media campaign against SARS.
