The Nigeria Police Force has debunked circulating rumours claiming that the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) has returned with a reformed set of rules.
The Force Public Relations Officer APC Olumuyiwa Adejobi cleared the air in a statement on Monday.
According to him, SARS was dissolved on the 11th of October 2022 and it remains disbanded.
The statement partly read, “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. Nigerians are encouraged to verify the source of any information before accepting it as true.
“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.”
