The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has told operatives of the reformed Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad to desist from checking citizens’ bank account details.

The IG also warned the F-SARS operatives not to invade people’s phones and laptops unless there was a court order or an instruction from the Commissioner of Police in charge of a state police command.

Speaking during a workshop in Owerri, the Imo State capital, Idris warned that any F-SARS operative who violated the new rules would be dismissed from the force.

Ibrahim, who was represented by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the IGP’s X-Squad, Amaechi Elumelu, said any F-SARS operative who handled cases not related to armed robbery and kidnapping would equally be dismissed from the Force.


He said, “Under the new era in F-SARS, operatives must be professional and respect the rights and privileges of all citizens. In the past, F-SARS was considered as the most elitist and professional unit of the police force.

“In the last few years, the unit has been riddled with allegations of abuse and excesses which made the public to call for its disbandment.

“Under the reformed F-SARS, it is illegal to search suspects’ phones, computers, or inquire about their bank account details without proper authorisation.

“Henceforth, F-SARS commanders must get directives from the state Commissioners of Police before invading people’s privacy. Any officer who disobeys will be dismissed.”

The police boss said all operatives of F-SARS would undergo medical evaluation in order to guarantee their mental, psychological and emotional condition.

Very good

k

What if they are checking bank accounts to assist citizens with monthly account reconciliation

F-SARS = Financial SARS

Did you as IGP need to get a scolding from the Acting President before you do your job and check a downward spiral that became endemic during your own tenure, despite the widespread complaints and campaign for redress over many months?


You are as useless as the many administrators that have passed through NIPSS Kuru, yet are only figure heads of the different stations of authority they occupy, bereft of any ingenuity and will power that would have made their establishments, agencies and departments efficient.

This one na mouth talk.

Welcome development.

Good development

Good for our democracy

So how would they prove those useless boys actually check people's account?

There is no way anyone can realistically prove that his or her account was checked by those criminals.

Na wa

IG AND HIS OFFICERS


Before the media: Police is your friend.
Behind closed door : Officer, where is my share of the rogger?

Story. All the ones that were reported in the past, why didn't they do anything. At least, there were many victims that secretly took pictures or videos of some of these thieves while they were wrongly accosted, sent them to social media and tagged all their verified pages. They did nothing, (even after exposing their faces) but looked the other way, only for yomi shogunle to make mockery of it and insult or intelligence on twitter.

The ones that were also reported to their office nko? Nothing! We never heard any SARS officer dismissed or punished.

The rot has eaten deep even into the low and high offices, even the commander that's making this directive is corrupt..all these ones na wash!

I maintain that they need to be disbanded, not just reformed.

Oga Transmission Ekale ooo..

That is not enough to build trust. We need to start taking advanced thought out steps to development instead of these half an inch steps.

Talk is cheap... Match words with action

Truly Osinbanjo na pastor

IGP has just received sense.

Osinbajo for second term, i just got to Lagos yesterday and discover that must of those lekki yahoo boys are really happy with this development. The harassment here by SARS is just too much,they extort those guys at a slide opportunity.

Things are just too hard now in Nigeria...imagine this morning one guy in my area was begging me to buy his cat but I told him that I don't need a Cat that I don't even have Rat in my house, he said he will bring Rat in the evening.

I WAS STOPPED AND SEARCHED YESTERDAY THEY EVEN CHECKED MY PHONE THIS HAPPENED ON MY WAY FROM CHURCH . YOU CAN GIVE ORDERS ALL YOU WANT BUT YOUR BOYS CAN NEVER LISTEN ... THESE SARS MEN NEEDS TO BE THROWN INTO A FACTORY AND BURN THEM INTO ASHES RECRUIT A NEW TEAM

Believe them at your own peril

If you're close to them you would know all these is just to calm the public outcry
