#SarsMustGo: SARS Officers Are Bad Eggs And May Pollute Other Units if…..Atiku Reveals—There must be measures to ensure the “bad eggs” among the disbanded SARS officers do not pollute other police units they will be deployed to, former Vice President said.
In a statement released by his spokesman, Paul Ibe, Atiku Abubakar called for the proper retraining of officials of disbanded special anti-robbery squad (SARS) before being redeployed to other units of the police.
According to him such measures would ensure “that they do not come into their new assignments with the same mindset for which the disbanded unit was notorious for.”
“This was the right thing to do. A system that brutally eliminates our youths is not one to hold on to, and neither can we be proud of it,” he said.
“Now we can start on a clean sheet to envision an elite police unit similar to the SWAT and a comprehensive overhaul of the police and policing system that is peoples-focused.”
He also advocated an independent judicial inquiry into the activities of SARS that will ensure justice for victims of extrajudicial killings and punishment for officers involved in such acts.
