Former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokiri says the new squad, Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team, named to replace the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, will simply be like the change of name from National Electricity Power Authority, NEPA, to Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN.
The Inspector General of Police, IGP, Muhammad Adamu on Monday, announced the formation of the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team to “fill the gaps” arising from the dissolution of SARS.
However, Omokri through his Twitter handle @renoomokri said that SARS/SWAT transformation will be like NEPA/PHCN change.
“The SWAT announced by the @PoliceIGP is a Greek Gift.
“Without weeding out errant cops and recruiting new blood, who must go through a different and better training than SARS, the SWAT will just be like when NEPA changed to PHCN #ENDSARS #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria#SARSMUSTEND.”
