SWAT to Replace Dissolved SARSNigerian Police Announces Newly Created SWAT to Replace Dissolved SARS

The Nigeria Police Force has announced the new creation of Anti-Robbery Unit called Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT), to replace the recently-dissolved Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

About few days ago, IGP dissolved the highly controversial SARS, following nationwide protests against the extra-judicial activities of the group that have escalated over the past few years.

The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, said in a statement on Tuesday, October 13, 2020 that SWAT will fill the gaps left by SARS whose main role was tackling violent crimes especially armed robbery and kidnapping.
