According to Davido the special police unit, SARS, is done and he has been given the directive to oversee the redeployment of the notorious officers.

"They will be brought to justice. The reform, we need to see it. The IG has given me the assurance and directive to set up my own independent panel that will be overseeing the redeployment of the SARS officers," he said.
"But SARS is over. There should be no reason for us to see the police ask anyone to submit their phone."
Davido's statement is coming barely a few hours after he held a meeting with the police authorities.
