The police chief, who said this during a meeting with SARS commanders at the Force Headquarters, Abuja on Friday, added that the Nigeria Police Force under his leadership was worried by the clamour by some Nigerians that the unit be scrapped.
According to him, they are only allowed to conduct stop-and-search operation on roads when necessary.
He added that such operation must be with the permission of Commissioner of SARS or Deputy Commissioner and Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of operations in the commands they are answerable to.
Any operation conducted by the operatives, according to the police boss, must be in a “non-discriminatory, proportional, fair and accountable manner.”
The measures, he said, were as a result of the police administration’s response to the yearnings and demands of modern policing.
