President Muhammadu Buhari, while delivering a speech at the launch of the presidential youth empowerment scheme at the state house in Abuja disclosed that the disbanding of the Special Anti-Robbery squad(SARS) is only the first step to an extensive police reform by his administration.
Stating further, Buhari also promised that all those responsible for such misconduct or wrongful acts would be brought to Justice.
He said:
”I will like to use this opportunity to say a word on the recent genuine concerns and agitations by Nigerians about the excessive use of force and in some cases extra-judicial killings and wrongful conduct of the men of the Nigerian Police Force
” The disbanding of SARS is only the first step in our commitment to extensive police reforms in order to ensure that the primary duty of the police and other law enforcement agencies remains the protection of lives and livelihood of our people.”
