The Inspector -General General of Police , Mohammed Adamu , says the training of a new police unit to replace the disbanded Special Anti -Robbery Squad will commence next week .
He promised to investigate all cases of brutality by SARS operatives and bring the perpetrators to book .
Adamu spoke when popular musician , David Adeleke aka Davido, visited him in office on Monday over the ongoing # EndSARS protests .
He said with SARS being disbanded , there was need to set up a new structure to carry out the duties of the defunct police unit which is fighting violent crimes.
He said the new outfit would be intelligence -driven, properly trained and only act on occasions that required their attention .
He said the unit would be made up of fresh personnel with a new orientation and not officers from the scrapped unit .
According to the police boss , opportunities would be created for members of the public to make inputs into the formation of the new unit .
Adamu called for calm , noting that Davido‘ s visit to talk about the issue was the best way to deal with the current problem .
Adamu stated , “We just disbanded ( SARS ) yesterday ( Sunday ) , so protesters should calm down and give us time to fix the problem . The general public will be part of the process of getting a new outfit .
“I ’m talking to you so , I will keep talking to many others and get civil societies involved and get their input towards the new unit .”
