Susan Emem remembers the time she encountered Nigeria's feared Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) one year ago.
She and seven other friends were heading home after a night out in Enugu, in southeast
Nigeria .
"We were coming from Extreme Lounge, a bar," she said.
"They dragged us out of the taxi we were in and said they were going to charge us for being dressed liked prostitutes. They shot into the air several times to scare us and shut us up as we tried to argue."

Susan related the incident in a voice tinged with anger.
"My friend, the only man among us, tried to reason with one of the officers but the officer hit him hard with the end of his gun. This was when we realised that things had gone out of hand," she said.
Susan and her friends were flung into the back of a van by four SARS operatives and taken to a police station at New Haven where they were eventually thrown into a cell.
"The SARS officers took our phones and personal belongings," Susan recalls.
