Nigeria’s President of the Senate, Dr Ahmad Lawan, has applauded President Muhammadu Buhari for the courageous decision to dissolve the notoriously perceived Special Anti Robbery (SARS) squad, a tactical unit in the nation’s police.
The Senate President said the government has shown themselves as responsive to the feelings of the people and listening to the voice of the people over their dissatisfaction with the operations of the SARS.
