Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has directed the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to immediately overhaul the management and activities of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
The order follows persistent complaints and reports on the activities SARS that border on allegations of human rights violations.
