Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to
President Muhammadu Buhari has rejected
allegations that he attempted to prevail on the federal government
not to scrap the Special Anti-Robbery Squad
(SARS).
Nigerians had taken to Twitter, other social media pages and
also adopted street protests to demand the immediate disbandment of
the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a controversial unit of the
Nigeria Police Force.
The government eventually submitted to the wish of the people on
Sunday, 11th October when the IGP announced the immediate
ban of SARS.
However, an online news report claimed the ban should have
happened since Friday but Mr.Adesina prevailed on the government
not to honour the peoples’ demand.
But Adesina in a statement on Sunday after the viral claims has
rejected the story, describing it as evil, fake, and targeted at
discrediting him.
He wrote: “While the FSARS saga lasted, I did not say a
word on it, whether publicly or privately. Why? It was not within
my brief. It rested squarely with the Nigeria Police Force, which
has its own spokesman.

For the online publication to have cooked outright falsehood
against me shows the riot that is going on in that space, in the
name of journalism.
“The brain behind the blog had always twisted stories
against me and his former employers would testify that I had
officially reported him about twice, till I then declined to grant
him interviews again.
“The publication should please be treated as what it is: lie
from the pit of hell. A concoction, falsehood from a diseased mind,
bent on causing disaffection against other people.”
