Am sure he did cho cho cho against thier brutality.

SARS should end.

kidap:
A popular On-Air Personality in Port Harcourt, Rivers State has been assaulted and manhandled by the men of the Special Anti-Robery Squad, SARS.



The OAP, Kofi Bartels who work for Nigeria Info FM, a popular Talk, News and Sport radio station in Port Harcourt said he was molested and beaten to stupor on Tuesday by men of the SARS while trying to be the voice of the common man – a boy whose mother fries Akara (Beans cake) in the city.

Narrating his ordeal at the hands of the SARS men on his verified Twitter handle, @Kofi_Bartels on Wednesday morning, Kofi said, “Yesterday, I was driving in my area and saw SARS officers beating up a boy who lives in the area. His mum fries Akara for a living and I knew immediately that they wouldn’t be able to ‘settle’ the officers.

“He kept shouting ‘what have I done”, while they tried to force him into their bus. They were beating the hell out of him and don’t know if he would have survived. I made to go plead with them but at a point hesitated and chose to take a shot of the bus and numberplate”.


The Radio presenter said the SARS men broke his knees after massive beatings, adding that his life was threatened as they threw him into the cells overnight.

“I was given the beating of my life right on the road. They started by smashing my knees repeatedly with wooden bars. As I type this, my left knee is swollen and my right knee seriously bruised. I have pains on my head, neck and back.

“I was handcuffed like a common criminal and shots were fired to disperse a small crowd that had gathered. After a second round of beating, I was taken to SARS HQ in Port Harcourt where I was beaten more mercilessly by the SARS officers who took me there. About three others also joined in. They are took turns to slap, punch, kick me all over my body in a detention room, while I was struggling with a swollen knee. At least 6 officers, one at a time. One swore he would have ‘wasted’ me if his team were the one who picked me up. I was told to get ready to be thrown into their cell where I would receive the worst torture, including sexual abuse by male inmates.

“A couple of them told me to watch my back, saying this is my end in Rivers State, due to the human rights issues we treat on radio involving SARS and the police generally.

“My phones were seized and I had no way of communicating with anyone. I was saved at the last minute when word got to their former boss and they were ordered to release me unconditionally. The pains were unbearable last night and I’ll have to go for a skull and knee Xray today”.

Kofi further said he’s never committed any crime, but had only used his office to speak for the less privileged – and the SARS took that as a crime instead.

“Several times, I’ve had to use my media platform to shout on behalf of the voiceless in our society who have had their rights trampled upon by people meant to protect them. I got my own first hand experience yesterday. Some of the officers made me know how they felt about that…literally.

“So my crimes are;
1. Attempting to record the beating of that boy.
2. Taking up SARS and police issues on radio.”

He further called on the National authorities, international authorities including the Ghanaian Government and media to wade into the matter as he fears for his life.

“I’m taking their threats to my life seriously and putting authorities on notice. But please be aware, if anything happens to me or my family, you know who to suspect”, Kofi said.

Stupid animals

Animals on uniform

Na Ogun go kill una

B@stard SARS

Get a human rights lawyer, they will sue their department, hence they will be fished out, if you don't fight them, they will keep targeting you.

Thales01:

Dude,true justice is non-existent in this country.That is what emboldens SARS officials to go about wantonly harrassing and killing innocent Nigerians with impunity.

Exactly.
They know nothing will be done to them.
Previously, this feeling of invincibility happened to Northern touts and almajiris. Then it has been extended to Fulani herdsmen. Suddenly, it has been extended to all the uniformed men and women.

Buhari's intentional collapse of Nigeria has almost gone full circle. God help Nigeria.

SARS really need to take it easy.

CRIMINALS ON UNIFORM

solmusdesigns:



jocker....

the public sympathy and attention that he seeks as been showered to him

Just imagine what you just typed

Very lawless animals.
How do they even recruit these animals?
Who employed them?
How can you employ animals to do the job of normal humans?

Thales01:

The guy didn’t apply sense at all. How can u record sars beating up sm1 from an unsafe distance knowing how they take such? Did he think he cud handle them or deal with their madness?

When u see sars u have 2 options plead with them because u don’t even know why they are arresting the so called person so don’t come and try stop them cos u cud be charged for obstructing arrest or get necessary info from a safe distance so u can report it afterwards. Going to face them is madness and in away unlawfully.

charleybam:


Just imagine what you just typed

if we seek a non forceful and non assertive police force, we would soon degenerate to northeast that armed bokoharam and dislodged police, thinking they are harming others. Rivers state needs brutal force in its policing or else cultist and kidnappers would over run the state

I can never go to that state even if its 5 minutes visit...Lai Lai

They touched him a little though.
His explanation of the beating is highly exaggerated

This Sars are barbaric

You are missing, just try and visit for the bole festival in August.

zeusdgrt:
Well.... actually.....if u look at the story....it is emphatically correct to invariably connote the circumstances that availed the anticedented prenoqua dorha of such nefledonic scenerio....but quoferious decordance will take it's course in the matter.

Keep speaking Grammer till you become a Victim.

DonBenny77:

When I saw the pictures, I laughed, SARS cannot beat you and you will be wearing boxers after. With all your body swollen, battered and bleeding it is wrapper they will use to just cover your blokkos let air be touching the remaining part of your body.

You will not be able to lift your hands to eat not to talk of pressing phone.

Anyway doh

charleybam:

I just looked at your profile pix and immediately it makes sense why you can never go to the state... you definitely will be arrested at first sight cos you look every inch a Y_h_o_ _ b_ y

Rolly22:

Back to sender.i casteriouslly demondua all ur evilious promtinue back to you.

OkaNaUbe:
Ah ah, I used to listen in to his shows.
Sars in PH are notoriously ruthless.


These were the popular broadcasters in PH then: Kofi, Akas Baba (He later brought Akpos to Wazobia FM. I wonder where he is now), OlawaleD O'Square(Who moved from Raypower Port Harcourt to Jordan FM Abuja and now at Inspiration FM Lagos -I guess) and Sheriff Quadri (with Amanda of Cool FM).

Akpos is now with NaijaFM...

Rivers State is scarier...not just because of Cultist, Kidnappers and Arm Robbers(incl SARS officials)...now SARS has joined the fray...

Believe me, it is scarier with SARS

Anyway doh

I was crying while reading the post, thinking I will see bloodied face and broken bones from the way Oga narrated the story.

Not in any way supporting police brutality, but hmmmmmmmmm.... No comment!

Many in this country have heard about human rights yet they are ignorant of what it is all about. Many don't even know their rights hence they don't know when they are violated. No one has the right to assault anyone except in the case of self defence.

You are hanging out in a bar. Suddenly you see sars come in and looking at every body. How would you feel at that moment?
You start to regret ever coming to the bar. "Had I known, I wouldn't have come here."
...and you have not committed any offence, but you know anything can happen.

Kofi, this is Naija where armu roba they operate legally.
