Zonal Police PRO, SP Dolapo Bus has reacted to the viral video of a Police officer who was pictured in plain clothes while carrying a gun.

"The officer is a member of the Special Anti-robbery Squad (SARS). SARS officers are not supposed to wear plain clothes while on duty".

She further revealed that the force has a special outfit for SARS officers which enables citizens to identify them when they are approached by one. 

Dolapo Bus also advised citizens on what to do when they are approached by a person in plain clothes claiming to be a police officer.

The thing taya me oh

I don't know where our police got this orientation of carrying arms in plain dress.

Arms and plain dress don't match at all.

If your job designation as a uniformed security personnel involves carrying arms, you should be in uniform, biko.

Intelligent operatives need not carry arms, otherwise, the operation is no longer "secret".

Tell them oo

SARS are criminals....imagine approaching a check point and you see people with guns dressed up in natives or jeans and putting on bathroom slippers....things you will Never ever see in sane countries even Ghana police wear their full uniform everything in Nigeria is different imagine if the custom boss of another country visits Nigeria he will be welcomed by a Nigerian custom boss who doesn't even have an official uniform very shameful

This is naijs

Tell your men first, and apply strict penalty for violators, also enlighten the public, I even saw one on ear ring yesterday, a friend said he was disguising. Naija I hail. Happy Birthday to me anyway....

Most of these crimes going on in Lagos are mostly carried out by off duty policemen. Spits

I wonder oh! Any way, any body that watched the video should pls tell me what she said we should do to them, na that one I wan hear

---

If you like, carry this matter for head to your own detriment...if mufti wearing Sars approach you, once him show you identification, do yourself good and cooperate...

Who no go no know o!

They can wear polo abi?

Any thing way consine naija police or SARS in short any naija force.
I go be like

onise ibi ni...come to my area u will see some with koko-waves, not different from arm robber.

Those guys are criminals...

Imagine a so called security agent telling me to drop funds,
When e nor wear uniform and e nor even get badge?

Lawless society!

Ok

Only talk talk, and you think those goat will follow what this one is talking,

I'm guessing dey go about with casual clothes so dey can always get away with their numerous crimes. Its not jus SARS even d police doesn't seem to have a particular uniform anymore. Travelling thru okene to d east U'll meet atleast 3 different uniforms all policemen. If u are not on duty den U are not on duty. I think d confusion started after d introduction of blue jersey for d police

And they are NOT mandated to chase suspected unarmed Internet scammers around the city! That is NOT part of their job description. There's a reason why their name is SARS:...Specal Anti ROBBERY Squad. Let them go after deadly ARMED robbers and kidnappers alone.

Madam PRO, ring that into their ears.

They do oo.

Kkkk

This is a very serious issue. They re many here in Enugu. You can't even tell difference between them Nd armed robbers.

Yahoo yahoo SARS

but the thing is they will not listen. you start to think they're above the law(untouchable) after an encounter with them

SARS are criminals period

Slippers and plain cloths makes our SARS looks like Armed robbers.

This beautiful police officer has 3 daily duties.......
1. House/Home duty
2. Make-up duty
3. Police work
Weldon ma

I need a Lawyer ASAP!

The company I am working for is OWING me my 3months salary!
_
And because I work from home they no longer respond to my messages.
_
And when they reply it is to say "Calm down,we're trying to confirm if you're really working" for the past 3months!
_
When it is glaring we're Working!
_
It seems the Company just hired us to use and dump us!
_
And this so called company have been hiring AMBASSADORS almost every week!
_
Why don't they wanna pay us? They probably think there is nothing we CAN do .. because we're just a surviving citizens with no VOICE!
_
I NEED LAWYER..and I have proofs

Make One of her co-worker -SARS slap her she go know say we no need confront.. MUFTI OR UNIFORM

man:explaining

if man na weyrey ,na accidental miss

the nigeria police lack d proper orientation of a proper and wel organise security outfit ..the way the 9ja police dress n organise themselve re the reason youths re nt welling to the force ..how can a police officer dress in mufti to work or even on duty ,whereas their brothers in the armed forces dress combatantly to work day in day out ..the police should copy the armed force ..nd the 9ja police would be a great organisation worth ing.

Lol once upon a time
I was apprehended by one SARS official
Lol I'm sure he will never forget me

SARS: let me see your phone
Me: does it look like government property?
What law states that you should search me?
What offence have I committed to warrant being embarrassed?
After a few rhetorical questoons , I was unapprehended lol

If you know what to say, you got no issue with the police.

Nice
