Dr. Sid might not be supremely active in the entertainment scene but he is still one of the more recognizable faces of Nigerian music, so you can imagine how surprising it was when he was reportedly stopped by officials of SARS and harassed.

According to eyewitness reports, the singer was driving in Lekki when he was stopped by SARS officers who asked him to park and then proceeded to search his phone.

He was presumed to be a Yahoo boy and when his phone produced no evidence, they decided to seize it. The basis for their suspicion? He was on dreads.

It took the intervention of fellow label mate, Reekado Banks and comedian Basketmouth who happened to be driving by at the time before he was released by the law enforcement agents.

According to Ogunleye Olaide, an eyewitness, he said the following;

In *Lasisi Elena’s voice * something just happened now . Sars operatives stopped a random vehicle on freedom way ,Lekki Phase 1,thinking the driver was a yahoo boy, after routine check , they found nothing implicating , and resorted to seizing the phone of the driver.

Little did they they know , that this person is Dr Sid , I mean Dr Sid of Mavin Dynasty . They insulted and attempted to assault him physically . Thanks to and K-Solo , who were there …

Before who was driving by saw them and stopped to know what was wrong . Then ,it dawned on the SARS operatives that these guys were not their “yahoo boy customer ” Ise baje

“That’s how Dr Sid vex too and started to call. Just imagine that it was an “ordinary ” civilian that was harassed today, baba for don dey cell now.”

He was insulted and things might have gotten physical if not for the intervention of his fellow celebrities.

Dr. Sid is yet to say anything about the incident.
