Aggrieved members of the public who have any complaint in the past or present of violation of their rights by any Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) personnel anywhere in the country should report through any of the following channels for investigation and further actions.
In December 2017, many Nigerians took to social media to call for the proscription of SARS over its alleged brutality.
Thereafter, Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police (IGP), ordered the reorganisation of the squad.
Months after, the campaign has resurfaced on various social media platforms, with citizens saying the alleged brutality by SARS operatives is getting worse.
