Muhammad Dingyadi, Minister of Police Affairs, explains why the Nigeria Police force swiftly created the Special Weapons and Tactics Team as a replacement for the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad unit.
The Minister made the statement on Channels television's 'Politics Today' said the new police unit was created because there are insecurity problems and assignments initially carried out by the defunct SARS unit that had to be done by another.
He said;
“So, we needed to quicken the process to ensure that there is a unit in place that is in charge of these things. And we can not take them in to take charge of these without giving them training and a new order so that they do not go and repeat the same mistake as SARS.”
Muhammad Dingyadi also revealed that the new police unit will continue carrying the AK-47 rifle, but will combine it with intelligence.
