LAGOS - The head of Nigeria’s police dissolved its Special Anti-Robbery Squad with immediate effect on Sunday, a police statement said, prompted by days of protests across the country against alleged brutality by the controversial unit.
“The dissolution of SARS is in response to the yearnings of the Nigerian people,” the police statement said. “They all need to be punished or disciplined,” said Charles Avackaa, a Lagos media executive who alleged SARS officers have extorted 100,000 naira from him.“But they mess up and carry them and put them somewhere else, there is nothing on how they operate,” he said.
