Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, gave the order for their immediate disbandment on Monday at his inaugural conference with Commissioners of Police and other senior officers in Abuja.

Based on the new directive, the SARS will now be domiciled under the direct supervision of the Commissioners of Police in the 36 states.
