Men of the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) have returned to the streets of Abeokuta metropolis creating fear in the minds of the people.
Recently, PLATFORM TIMES observed that Sars have returned to their old ways whereby they chase young persons on the street, mostly under the disguise to arrest cyber fraudsters but mainly for the sake of extortion.
SARS which is also referred to as ‘EKE’ or ‘OJO’ by the cyber criminals have been able to keep track of many of the alleged fraudsters and on many occasion, making life unbearable for them, until the federal government through the former Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris ordered their reform last year.
The reform which restricted the special force from searching phones, laptops among others brought joy to many Nigerians, especially their acclaimed targets.
Recently on different occasions PLATFORM TIMES has sighted the officers of Sars stopping different cars and arresting many for reasons unknown.
Against the order of the federal government, the operatives have returned to their old act of checking the phones of people and as well as searching peoples pocket all in the name of hunting cyber fraudsters.
It was observed that the anti-robbery squad are now mostly engaging in ‘stop and search’ in many students’ dominated areas especially in Onikolobo, Olowo, Abiola way and Panseke areas of Abeokuta.
An investigation conducted by our reporter revealed that many of the alleged cybercriminals are leaving the state due to fear of the operatives and as well as the Economic Financial Crime Commission.
Our investigation further revealed that while EFCC intensified effort in bursting the internet fraudsters in their respective homes, SARS has made outing difficult for them as they no longer flaunt their expensive phones and cars.
