The South-South Editor of The Nation newspaper, Mr Shola O’Neil, was last Monday brutalised by men of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (F-SARS) around Okada in Edo state.

O’Neil, who was returning to Warri from Lagos, was in a commercial vehicle, a Toyota Corolla, when the vehicle was stopped after the Okada Junction along the Benin Shagamu Expressway by men of F-SARS.

The Nation regional editor shared his experience in a series of tweets on his official twitter handle.

He said, “Let me tell you my sad SARS experience on Sunday afternoon somewhere around Okada in Edo state.”

“Was on my way to WARRI from Lagos. Just after Okada junction we met this SARS team from Okada. They operated from a red Mercedes Benz C-Class wagon. Number plate covered with yellow/black cellophane They stopped the Toyota Corolla I was riding in.”

“There’s a student of Afe Babalola in d front seat. He had a laptop but no purchase receipt. They asked everybody to disembark and started searching us one after d other. They took my MacBook and phones. One of them, the youngest, asked me to unlock my phone, I did.”
