Ukweni said the dissolution of Special Anti – Robbery Squad (SARS) by Inspector General of Police (IGP) was not the solution, “Government should think of a more reasonable and enduring solution to the problem in the Nigeria Police Force and the society at large.
“It only helps them to change their strategy and evolve a new way of continuing with their entrenched habits. What is needed in the Police and the society at large is total reformation and change of character” he suggested.
