President Muhammadu Buhari has responded to the call to scrap the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) of the Nigerian Police Force.
After several demonstrations all over the country, the President said on Friday evening that he has been briefed by the Inspector-General of Police Mohammed Adamu.
”I met again with the IGP tonight. Our determination to reform the police should never be in doubt. I am being briefed regularly on the reform efforts ongoing to end police brutality and unethical conduct, and ensure that the Police are fully accountable to the people.
”The IG already has firm instructions to conclusively address the concerns of Nigerians regarding these excesses & ensure erring personnel are brought to justice.
”I appeal for patience and calm even as Nigerians freely exercise their right to peacefully make their views known.
”The vast majority of men and women of the Nigeria Police Force are patriotic and committed to protecting the lives and livelihood of Nigerians, and we will continue to support them to do their job.

Don’t reform anything scrap it. End it. They are bandits from the North. Terrorists of northern extraction in police uniform.operating in the South. . These northerners are out to deal ruthlessly with the South. The protests should continue. Everything NNAMDI KANU said is coming to pass. The North is the evil bedeviling this country. Thank God Nigeria has more or less broken up.
