A pressure group, “Every Nigerian Do Something Positive Development Initiative” has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to redeploy members of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) to curb terror attacks by Boko Haram and herdsmen.

The group made the call during a peaceful protest it held at the entrance to the National Assembly on Tuesday in Abuja.

Leader of the group Dr Perry Brimahalso called for the return of military to the barracks, saying they had no constitutional role replacing the police because the latter were currently engaged in bodyguard duties.

He urged for immediate decentralisation amendments to create state police and restore regionalism.

No official of the national assembly was around to address the protesters as the lawmakers were currently on a three-week recess.
