The Lagos State House of Assembly on Friday demanded the proscription of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) over the outfit\u2019s alleged high-handedness.<\/p>\n

The assembly made the call during an emergency plenary called by the Speaker of the House, Mr. Mudashiru Obasa, on the ongoing nationwide agitations for FSARS to be disbanded.<\/p>\n

The House also told the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to set up a new outfit in place of FSARS.<\/p>\n

The parliament urged the state\u2019s Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, to provide protection for #EndSARS protesters as they express their grievances against FSARS.<\/p>\n

Obasa and some lawmakers had on Friday addressed protesters demanding an end to FSARS over the alleged killing of innocent people nationwide.<\/p>\n

Addressing the House plenary earlier, the speaker said among the seven-point resolution passed after an extensive deliberation was that the Senate and House of Representatives should probe the allegations against F-SARS.<\/p>\n

The allegations, according to him, include the incessant killing, maiming and dehumanizing of Nigerians.<\/p>\n

He said the Assembly also urged the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, to institute public enquiries on the squad\u2019s extra-judicial activities, including killings, maiming and dehumanizing of youths.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis investigation is to ensure that the victims are duly compensated while erring officers are sanctioned appropriately.<\/p>\n

\u201cSARS<\/a>\u00a0should be proscribed and a new security outfit which will be more efficient with clearly spelt out code of conduct and rule of engagements be established, while sanctions are imposed for misdemeanour.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. President should ensure that culpable officials of the F-SARS receive the punishment as prescribed by the National Assembly,\u201d Obasa said.<\/p>\n
