My encounter with SARS on Saturday 02/12/2017.

There is this guy in my house called Chidi, he is quite rich and fly out of the country most time. Though I have no verification of his source of income but as he told me, he said he is into OIL and also into import and export. He drives a Mercedes, exchange babes like water lol. We are the only young people in my compound so we relate more often and due to the fact we also meet in night club and so, so he kind of like my own lifestyle too.

One Saturday afternoon after Friday night life. As I was just relaxing in balcony of my flat and viewing Instagram pictures, some policemen (SARS) came to our compound and was asking about this Chidi who lives just about 2 flat after mine. So due to the fact that they were asking people downstairs why I was upstairs, I felt not concerned because I have no problem with them.

When they finally got to Chidi's flat, they knocked for almost 10mins and no response because I saw when he left home just 30mins before the SARS arrival. With the annoyance of no response from the flat they use their Hammer to destroy the lock and the door and finally gain access to the flat. They ransake the whole flat and couldn't see anything to implicate this guy. They now pasted a "WANTED NOTE" on his door.

After all the whole drama, I just jejely relax and kept pressing my phone upstairs. They came down and was asking the papers of the whole cars in the compound. When they got to my own car, I came down with the papers of the car and show to them. After checking everything, they asked for any proof that the car belongs to me and I brought my Voter's Card to proof the name on the voter card and the car papers. They were now requesting for my driver license, which was not with me currently that period because I left it in my friend's car that previous night and have already called him to bring it for me later that day since I had no plans of going out. I told them since I was not driving the car their was no need for that and later told them I am not with it currently. B4 that they said I am feeling like OGA and feel I am too big to talk to them when they came.

They asked me why is my driver license not with me? Then I explained I left it in my friend's car. They said I will follow them to there office to clarify that with my car. From there I said I was not going anywhere and even if I want to go, not with my car because if I drive it they will have that case that I was driving when they caught me. From their one of them said they will shoot me and nothing will happen. From there I was beginning to wonder. Why all these embarrassment. They seized my phone, checked all my pictures, numbers and all. They were asking why do I have international number in my phone. Was like seriously? So I can't have friends or relative abroad? They started calling all the international number and keep mute to hear voice and later found out all those numbers are friends own. They searched my house and my laptop.

They said we should go to the station. Getting there, drama occurred because they wanted to just put me inside cell for no reason or even statement written. They brutalized me, seized my phone so I can't call and said they were going to kill me and nothing will happen. After all the shout and noise, a senior SARS officer came and asked one of them what happened, they lied to him that I was in a scene where robbery took place and I am a suspect. I opened my mouth and was like wow. I was thrown inside the cell and spend a night for no offense. From there I began to reason not everybody in custody are actually criminals.

To cut the story short, my friend came with my driver license, the whole of my neighbour in compound came except the Chidi guy and they were surprise on the allegation and they were like you arrested this guy in his house how come you saying in a crime scene? They met with their OGA and all he could say is I was shouting in their office when they brought me and that might make them angry and they shoot me dead. After all the wahala I had no option than to pay #120,000 for something I know nothing about because I couldn't afford to spend second day in cell.

For those saying police can't arrest you in Nigeria without you committing a crime. Don't just say so because our police officers are animals.

I am already planning to file a case but their is no single evidence that I was even arrest because no statement was written and no paper stuff. I might just jejely let the matter die and face front.

SARS arrested me becos I dey drive for night by 1am. We had some argument and I have to reason it is late, these fools fit shoot us and dump us somewhere nobody will know. I just negotiated with them and they collected the last 21k with me forcefully. They harrassed the lady I carried and even calling her ashawo. I was begginning to wonder is it a crime to drive at night or to carry girl for motor?

Those guys are crazy. Once they have that their uniform on, I wonder what kind of demons they are possessed with.


The Special Anti - Robbery Squad has now reduced to Chief Extortionists. How pathetic.


@ OP, hope you got one of their names, or marked one of their faces.

Lemme tell you what those guys do. They pay hefty sums of money on juju for their protection. They renew the nonsense with more money. They also settle their ogas well at the end of the day. When last did u hear a sars died in a gun battle? They also take hard drugs, thats why you see their eyes always red and they humans as spectre of dust.

They also make a lot of money from bail, thats why they are after yahoo boys because they have the money to bail themselves. Some as much as N50 million. Those that can't pay, get "thrown overboard" at night and get sold to ritualists. It's a cut-throat business.

SARS should not just be ended, all their operatives should be tied with stones on their legs and thrown into the ocean.

Reading all these stories makes me cringe with fear and the same time hatred towards the police. What is all these for God's sake? Imagine the type of amount people pay for their freedom from police for a non criminal offense. I'm weak!

All these stories are scary mhen. I've never had an encounter with them before though, but I must say I escaped a potential encounter with them back in 2015. It was their other part (police) that I had that encounter with then and it wasn't funny, had to spend the night with a few friends at the back of their counter just because we were going to a club at night. Even one of the police then said we were lucky it wasn't SARS that caught us that night, God forbid one might have been dead by now. Imagine police labelling us as "four armed men" without even a bread knife in the car. Thank God that is history and I don't pray to encounter these guys called SARS. If some people start killing these SARS guys now out of retaliation or hatred, they'll say they are terrorists, like SARS no be terrorists in uniform. We must stop these people or at least wipe them out and retrain highly educated and intellectual minds for these sensitive jobs.

MODERATORS, please share this on front page.
