A group of protesters on Tuesday stormed the streets of Kano urging the Inspector of General of Police, (IGP) Ibrahim Idris not to scrap the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) but to reform it instead.
The protesters, bearing various placards claimed that without SARS operators, armed robbery will be on the rise and Kano State will in turn, become home to crime and criminalities.
Channels Television’s correspondent, gathered that a letter of support was being handed over to the police commissioner in Kano by the group which claimed that so far, there are no groups currently protesting against SARS.

“Even though there might be someone bad eggs in the unit, the police force needs to reform the unit to prevent it from carrying out extra judicious activities.
