A Nigerian man identified as Emmanuel James took to his Facebook page to narrates how he was humiliated by SARS officers at Ago-Palace, Okota, opposite Zenith Bank.

Read Emmanuel full Story below;
"I was accosted by SARS officers are Ago-Palace, Okota, opposite Zenith Bank. They humiliated me and accused me of being a fraudster. Checked my documents and found nothing, and then said I should follow them back to my office in Ikoyi to confirm my claims. People intervened. I called the PPRO of Lagos State and he asked to speak with them. They took the phone and seized it. They are still holding my documents. Later one called me aside and asked me to go arrange money. I asked for my phone to let me make a transfer to my ATM account and he gave me. I took the phone and card and went into the bank and have gone into hiding here. I’m updating from my hiding place. They are waiting for me by my car. Phone battery down. Please share."

"PRESS RELEASE:

IMMANUEL JAMES STORY, OUR REACTION. .....

Today 9th of April, 2018, at about 2pm, one Ekene Okoro placed a call to the- office of the Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State (PPRO) and reported that his cousin, Immanuel James was being harassed by policemen alleged to be SARS operatives at Ago-Palace way , Okota, opposite a Zenith bank branch at Ago-Palace way.

Sequel to the above, a team of policemen from the Command X-Squad section, led by ASP. Musa Shuaibu was dispatched to intervene in the matter.

However, on sighting the X-Squad personnel the erring Police officers hurriedly left the scene in a manner suggestive that they were on illegal duty.

Going forward, the CP Lagos directed the officer in charge of the X-Squad section to fish out the police men within 2 hours and that directive has been actualized with the identification of the policemen involved.
They were led in that inglorious duty by one Inspector Jude Akhoyemta attached to FSARS Ikeja.
The general public is hereby informed that the CP has ordered for their arrest and as soon as that is done, the public would be communicated as usual.

SP Chike Oti
Police Public Relations Officer,
Lagos State Police Command."

It is safer for an armed robber to get hold of you with huge cash than some police! The police might like to destroy the evidence after taking the cash, the evidence is you being alive!

When SARS go repent?

NaoSlay:


So with all the retweets and likes on twitters , SARS wasn't scrapped after all?

I pity the anti Buhari fellas who think retweets and likes wins election.

Spot on. Just like Akin Alabi announced online that his voters are offline. Twitter, Nairaland and the likes dont win elections. However, they force decisions. If not for the online pressure, NPF wouldnt have responded this way.

Perhaps one day, online pressure would also affect elections.

The fish head is rotten.

The body is rotten.

The tail is rotten.

If you eat the you'll get sick.

Throw the fish and buy another.

hmmmmmm

An Applause to the NPF on this.
