A retired police officer and Police Planning Officer at the United Nations Mission Support for Justice Reform, ACP Dr.

Benjamin Agordzo, has described the national Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) as "illegal" and unnecessary.

He believes they should be exempted from participating in the December 7 presidential and parliamentary elections.

According to ACP Agordzo, the constitution does not encourage the creation of any other security force unless Parliament approves it.
