The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has set up the
Special Weapons and Tactics Team that will replace the disbanded
Special Anti-Robbery Squad.

The prospective members of the new team, who would undergo tactical
training next week, will undergo a psychological and medical
examination to ascertain their fitness and eligibility for the new
assignment.

A statement by the Force spokesman, DCP Frank Mba, in Abuja yesterday,
disclosed that the personnel from police commands in the South-East
and the South-South will be trained at the Counter-Terrorism College,
Nonwa-Tai, Rivers State.

Those from the police commands in the North and the South-West will be
trained at the Police Mobile Force Training College, Ende, Nasarawa
State and the Police Mobile Force Training College, Ila-Orangun, Osun
State, respectively.
