Popular media personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu has reacted to the ban of the operatives of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS by the police hierarchy.
Ekohotblog.com reported that the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Abubakar Adamu, in a press release on Sunday banned the personnel of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) from patrols and stop-search duties with immediate effect, following alleged killings and harassment of youths.
He ordered that no personnel, henceforth, has right to stop and search citizen’s mobile phones, laptops and other smart devices without warrant.

Reacting to this, the OAP said this is not the first time this ban has been imposed, adding that he hopes the force swings into action immediately.
The official host of BBNaija on his Twitter page wrote: “Press releases without any action are way too common. We’ve been here before. #EndSARS
“Better not be like the constant ban on roadblocks that keep resurfacing.”
Nigerians are currently finding it hard to believe the new press release as this is the third time in the past three years the force is banning and reviewing SARS.
Recall that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, in August 2018, as the Acting President, ordered the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idirs, to overhaul SARS management and activities.
