Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum and
Plateau state governor, Simon Lalong, disclosed this to journalists after a
meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja on Thursday.

said the defunct police unit had been useful in the fight against insecurity in
the region.
According to him, SARS was not made up of bad
elements alone as it also included personnel doing their work diligently.

unit to enable it to discharge its functions optimally.
Lalong, however, acknowledged that there were
divisions in the country concerning the continued existence of the unit.
