The Nigeria Police Force has dismissed speculation about the return of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), emphasizing that the unit remains permanently dissolved.
In a statement titled “Disclaimer: SARS Remains Dissolved,” issued in Abuja on Monday, Force Public Relations Officer ACP Muyiwa Adejobi reaffirmed that SARS, which was disbanded on October 11, 2020, is not being reinstated.
“The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) is not back in operation. The recent information regarding SARS reformation and rules of engagement should be treated with caution,” Adejobi stated.
He urged Nigerians to verify information from credible sources, advising the public to follow the official handles of the Nigeria Police Force on social media for accurate updates.
“Your safety and awareness are paramount; stay informed and vigilant,” he added.
