Following the unapproved invasion of the residence of elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, by some policemen in alleged search of arms, the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has disbanded his Special Tactical Squad (IGP-STS).
The disbandment was with immediate effect.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood, who made this known on Friday said some senior officers of the squad found wanting were already being disciplined.
His words: “The tactical operations and statutory core police duties that the dissolved Special Tactical Squad were charged with are now collapsed and will be carried out by other operational, investigative and response units of the force.

It would be recalled that three of the four policemen who raided Clark’s house had been dismissed while the fourth one was suspended.
The informant, it was said, would be arraigned for giving false information.
