How I narrowly escaped death from the “cold hands” of SARS operatives! – Lagos photographer,

If every Nigerian youth is given the opportunity of writing a book or short story about their experience(s) with the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), one could spend a life time reading them.

SARS is a special department of the Nigeria Police meant to checkmate criminal activities especially fraud and robbery incidents in the state.

However, with the experiences shared online by Nigerian youths, SARS operatives are more or less agents of brutality, harassment and worst cases – death.

On Sunday, SARS almost killed me. I was on a bike from shitta to unilag, as soon as we got to cold stone at Herbert macaulay road, these guys raced towards us in a mini bus, attempted to hit us but my bike guy was quick to swerve, they hit the guys behind us.

It was a terrible hit, the bike guy and his passenger fell to the ground, these government approved armed robbers didn’t care, they picked them up and put them in the mini bus and drove off.
