The Police high command has said contrary to the ongoing social media campaign calling on it to scrap its Special Anti-Robbery Squad unit, it has no such intention whatsoever.

This was even as it said contrary to claims of wrongdoings against SARS by those it referred to as “criminals”, the anti-robbery unit has done a lot in sanitising the country.

The police said those carrying out the campaign in the social media were armed robbers who have found the operations of the special unit so hot for their activities, and challenged them to come out for identification so that it can investigate them.

It also asked well meaning Nigerians to disregard what it described as so-called special media campaign against SARS, insisting that the campaigners were armed robbers who relocated to the social media it referred to as “comedians centre” to drum up support to achieve their aim.

Force Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood said those carrying the campaign for scrapping of SARS were criminals who want to unit scrapped so that their activities can thrive, vowing that the criminals won’t have their way.

Moshood, a Chief Superintendent of Police, dared those with allegations of wrongdoing against SARS to show up with their evidence or shut up, insisting that the police would not bow to their antics to regain freedom in their nefarious trades.

The police authorities cannot and will not scrap the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS for these criminals to thrive because it’s not our problem.

“The people that have been fighting armed robbery, fighting kidnapping and make a lot of successes? ” Look at the number of people they have arrested along Abuja-Kaduna highway, look at the case of Evans. Don’t you know that Intelligence Response Team has elements of Special Anti-Robbery Squad in them. ” I’m just trying to let you know the viability, so we shouldn’t be dancing to the tone of the social media, that’s the comedians centre. “If a person would call for the scrapping of SARS, is the person not an armed robber himself? “They are just carrying their campaign in the social media.”

Recall that Nigerians at the weekend re-record their campaign on social media calling on the police authorities to immediately scrap its Special Anti-Robbery Squad unit over allegations of some atrocities being carried out by men of the unit.

The campaign tagged:#EndSARS had dominated the social media space at the weekend with Nigerians alleging extra-judicial killings, wanton arrests and dispossession of properties through physical assault and other intimidation tactics against the men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad unit of the Nigeria Police.
