Speaking on the directive of the IGP to federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), the CP said the command has communicated to the officers and men and will ensure compliance of the directive
In his words, CP Nwachukwu said “We are banning unnecessary patrols, they will only confide themselves to investigations or responding to the distress call when the need arises.
This message has been passed across to them and we will continue to reinforce not only to SARS but to all the tactical teams,” the Commissioner said.
The CP also condemned those using the name of the Federal SARS to commit crime, adding that he will definitely separate the shaft from the weed and expose those carrying out that malicious act.
Nwachukwu used the medium to assure the good people of Oyo State that the Nigeria Police Force Oyo State Command will leave no stone unturned in the fight against crime.
