Ibrahim
Idris, the Inspector General of Police, has asked operatives of the Federal
Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) to desist from running after internet fraudsters.
According to daily trust he said they
had the mandate of curbing armed robbery and kidnapping, warning that any
officer caught arresting cybercrime suspects would be sanctioned appropriately.
Idris gave
the warning yesterday at the FSARS headquarters at Magbo in Abeokuta, Ogun
State. He was represented by the team leader of South West Monitoring Fact
Finding Committee on SARS Reform, DCP Adepojulo Ilori.
He assured
the people of what he called “positively transformed” operatives of FSARS. He
said the committee had embarked on the inspection of SARS detention facilities
across the southwest states.
Part of the
committee’s mandate was to decongest the detention facilities and submit a comprehensive
report to the IGP.
