Nwafor was formerly the commander of FSARS in Anambra and had severally been accused of killing and maiming many youths in the state.
“James Nwafor, former OC SARS in Anambra State is sacked and will be prosecuted.
“Today, I joined youths of our dear State to say #EndPoliceBrutality and I support them because they did not only vote and defend their votes in my 21-over-21 victory but all their requests are genuine and germane, and I oblige to honour them all.
“I felt honoured being in their midst to share in their feelings, and I made it clear that, Federal Government has disbanded SARS but I will personally visit all SARS offices in Anambra State to ensure that anyone being held is released, immediately.”
