The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, had announced the mandate for the newly formed SWAT, including response to robbery attacks, rescue operations, and special operations involving high-profile criminals.

The IGP had set up a new outfit to take over from the dissolved Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) unit of the Nigerian Police Force.
