The Federal Government however heeded by passing an executive order for the disbandment of the FSARS while also introducing a new Unit Called Special Weapon and Tactical (SWAT)
However, Reacting to the relentless agitation by the youth which has led to killings, stagnation of various businesses and blockade of major roads in the Nation Mai Buni Said;
“Hoodlums can utilise the gathering to cause confusion and terrorise other innocents citizens,” “The ongoing protests show that there is hidden agenda, after the government has responded to the protesters’ demand.”
“Nigeria is a country accommodating people with several motives and demands which include restructuring and disintegration, thus, we should be careful,” Mr Buni said.
He said “there are criminals who see the disbanded police unit as threat to their criminal activities”.
