Campaigners in Nigeria have responded with scepticism to the announcement that a police unit, widely accused of brutality, has been disbanded.
Protesters had called for the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, or Sars, to be broken up.
But they are unhappy that its officers are being redeployed to other units rather than being disciplined.
In a statement, Nigeria’s police chief said allegations of abuse would be investigated.
Demonstrations against the squad spread to Europe and Canada following widespread reports of unlawful arrests, torture, and even deadly shootings.
