The Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 2, Olohundare Jimoh, has reiterated that the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) no longer exists in any form within the police structure.
He also dismissed claims that former SARS operatives were regrouped into new tactical units.

He further addressed the recent videos circulating online of police officers mistreating people, saying,
