The Special Anti-Robbery is notoriously known for the alleged killings, torment and harassment of Nigerian citizens. Only in August 2018, the then-acting president, vice-president Professor Yemi Osinbajo d­irected former Inspector General of Police ­(IGP) Ibrahim Idris to overhau­l the management and activities of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS). Thereafter, it was changed to Federal Special Anti-robbery Robbery Squad (FSARS). By September, the police commenced a two-week training on human rights for Federal Special Anti-robbery Squad (FSARS) commanders nationwide to reposition the outfit. #EndSARS #Nigeria @PoliceNGChidi Okereke @ChydeeSo SARS is now back to being SARS, not FSARS anymore.
