In the words of the Police Spokesperson, "The reorganization of the squad was necessitated by unprofessional conducts of its personnel, as well as the corruption in the unit. It is also to revitalize the outfit for the fight against cultism in the state by infusing it with fresh blood for better service delivery.
 “The CP Lagos warns that the same treatment awaits any other unit in the command that is working at cross purposes with the fundamental objectives of the Nigeria Police Force. He adds that Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers and heads of departments must increase supervision of their men to ensure non-violation of the police Standard Operating Procedure.”
