‘Rejoice but don’t be distracted’ — reactions to IGP’s pronouncement on SARS
Some Nigerians on social media are still celebrating the disbandment of the special anti-robbery squad (SARS).
Protesters across the country spent sleepless nights, demanding an end to the brutality of some SARS operatives.
The protest also caught the attention of people outside the shores of Nigeria.
On Sunday afternoon, Mohammed Adamu, the inspector-general of police, disbanded SARS.
Below are reactions from some Nigerians on Twitter.
Congratulations Nigerians, SARS has been dissolved, and I’m genuinely overwhelmed.
But don’t be carried away.

Rejoice, but don’t be distracted!#EndSARS #EnsSARS

Before I will fall for this Congratulations Nigerians thingy, I need to understand what role these “ex sars” officials will be playing wen redeployed to other other police units.

The voice of the people is the voice of God as they say. The Govt finally respect the peoples voice & dissolved SARS
Let Buhari sign an executive order to this effect. Scrapping without an executive order to this effect has no force of law #EndSARS
