THE Yoruba Ronu Leadership Forum on Tuesday hailed President Muhammadu Buhari for sanctioning the disbanding of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and promising police reforms.
It described the Federal Government’s response to the #EndSARS protests as prompt but suggested ways the government can rebuild the police and win public trust.
One of those ways, it said, is to decentralise policing, with simple offences handled locally, while crimes such as kidnapping, currency forgery, and insurrection should be handled at the federal level.
“We salute the Police authority for taking steps to engage the public and douse tension. We condemn the recklessness and insensitivity of the police authorities in some states, which were at variance with the message from Abuja.”
