Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; President of the Senate, Dr. Ahmad Lawan, and the National Human Rights Commission have hailed the dissolution of the dreaded Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the police force.
Lawan also commended the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, for the decision and challenged him to come up with measures for the transformation of the Nigeria Police into an effective law enforcement and crime fighting agency that is also a true and respected friend of the Nigerian people. According to Atiku, the will of the people is the bulwark of the democratic system and those in authority cannot ignore the will of the people without undermining democracy itself.
The commission in addition said, it was equally aware of the public outcry to scrap SARS so as to put an end to these violations which has now been met by the Federal Government as a mark of its commitment to the promotion and protection of human rights of Nigerians.
