SARS can't assault his brother for just having 3phones, there is something we are not getting here, there was a news sometimes last month in how a boy was sentenced to death for stealing a phone, they hid the reason that it's an armed robbery. ask the boy what he did, not 3phones, stop spoiling the name of nigerian justice.

It is a crime in Nigeria for someone from the South East/West/South to be in possession of 3 handsets that's legitimately theirs.

But it is not a crime

For a fulani herdsman to be in possession of a bow and a quiver of poisoned arrows, a pen-knife, a dagger, a machete, a world receiver radio and 4 handsets..




There really was a country: Chinua Achebe

The approach to policing differ in different parts of Nigeria, I mean the behavior of police in the north is definitely different from their behavior in the southern part of the country especially in places such as Lagos and Port Harcourt, big cities. Having spent my childhood and young adult life in the north (Kaduna) and moved to Port Harcourt for work, I can't help but notice the marked difference in the manner the job of policing and security activities are being carried out. Yes Nigerian police are naturally not the most polished set of people anywhere in the country, I am forced to believe that they are more aggressive in places like Lagos and Port Harcourt (these places I can speak for) than anywhere I have known. We have all seen and heard about their notoriety in their treatment of the people they are employed to protect. Let's not be so quick in putting them down like outcast in the society, they say "a people get the kind of leaders they deserve" maybe, just maybe, they get the kind of police they also deserve, you would agree with me that[b] these aforementioned towns are known to harbor some of the worst criminals the country can "boast" of[/b], and the people are naturally more aggressive especially when it comes to money and everything that has a link to it, so the men of the security outfits would need to shed their "cool"sides and live up to cruelty of their enemies as they come. Some might say it is because they are more Hausas or northerners in the force, but when you look at the brutality cases, more often than not, you are likely to find a fellow southerner in the mix, as the perpetrator of the police brutality, besides majority of the said "SARS" men are of southern extraction. Lastly, living in Kaduna, a town that can boast of an overload of every security apparatus except for Navy, you would hardly hear anyone make ridiculous statements about police or military brutality, this I get to hear in places like Port Harcourt, where you would see grown, educated men sit down and discuss police/military brutality like they are discussing a block buster movie, making a hero out of the SARS men, army, air force, and telling wicked tales of how men in uniforms beat up their friends and neighbors and bus drivers with admiration as if there is a common agreement in the minds of the people that beating unarmed Nigerians is acceptable so long as you can do so while wearing the uniform, it is not out of place to hear "if army man slap you, you go know say police is your friend. Some will debate who is more brutal Army or Navy with the Navy given the advantage most times. With such agreement amongst the people, why won't these men in uniform try to outdo themselves in the art of brutalizing civilians they are supposed to protect?

A U.S returneee whose name was not given, was allegedly assaulted by some SARS operative in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for being in possession of 3 mobile phones. The U.S returnee's story was sent in by his brother, who alleged that he was rushed down to the hospital and now stable.

How are they two different departments?

For your info Special anti robbery squad(SARS) is one of the numerous departments under the Nigerian Police Force (NPF). Just like you have SIB, IRT,ABS and so on. They are all policemen.

spencekat:
SARS is a division of NPF.They are the same police.

It is very posible,i was arrested by SARS for sitting inside my car insiding a fuel station waiting for my turn to do wheel balance on my car.
The treated me like a criminal and forced me into their car while my friend and one of the officers drove my car to their station.
They even forced me to write statement until i saw their boss and stated making noise till i got his attention and explained everything to him and also told him my father is a senior police officer (actually my dad's younger bro.)
Guess what? the boss asked them what my offence was and they said "oga na lexus all this bad boys dey use" i was suprise with their answer and asked the boss if driving a lexus or sitting inside a car is now crime in Nigeria,he just shaked his head after whispering to one of them and left.

The asked me to go with serious warning "u dey claim say u go school abi,dey form say you know law,just becareful for this town.

That was how i got out of their net.
SARS OFFICERS ARE CRAZY AND CAN DO ANYTHING!

I am not in support of what they did to you o...
But there's no smoke without a fire...
In Naija where almost everyone has at least 2 phones and then a reasonable number of people have more than that 2 and in some cases, a laptop added to it, you can't tell us there's no smoke without a fire...

Sorry shaa...
