Woman and her three-month-old baby allegedly beaten up by a SARS official in Ibadan (Video)

A member of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) has been accused of beating up a woman and her three-month old baby.

The officer known as “Idowu SARS” was on video with his armed gun and allegedly beat up the woman and her three-month baby.

Anthony Ojukwu the Executive Secretary of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has made a plea to the Oyo State Governor to take appropriate actions regarding the case.

In a statement on the official Twitter account of Ojukwu, he said,  “Gov @seyiamakinde, my team is on this but this report on a @PoliceNG SARS Officer popularly known as “Idowu Sars” who pulled up a gun & beat up a woman & her 3 month old baby in Ibadan is disheartening. Immediate action needs to be taken TOWARDS JUSTICE!

More videos of "Idowu SARS" with his gun out in public, violating the rights of Nigerian citizens. The Oyo State government and @PoliceNG should not allow this to go unpunished. This kind of lawlessness costs lives and makes people lose faith in the force. #NigerianLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/9QAIU5XLUZ
