He also directed the Inspector-General of Police, Adamu Mohammed, to reform the FSARS.

He gave the instruction during a meeting with the IGP on Friday.

The president also appealed for calm in a series of tweets after the meeting.

He tweeted, “I met again with the IGP tonight. Our determination to reform the police should never be in doubt. I am being briefed regularly on the reform efforts ongoing to end police brutality and unethical conduct, and ensure that the Police are fully accountable to the people.
