The Inspector General of Police, IGP Mohammed Adamu, has directed investigations into a suit challenging the legality of the States’ Judicial Panel of Inquiry, investigating allegations by citizens against officers of the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

The Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), DCP Frank Mba, in a press statement, Thursday in Abuja, said the IGP, who gave the order on the heels of trending reports in the media expressed the disapproval of the Force Management Team on the matter and ordered investigations into the alleged role of the Force Legal Section including its Head.
