The suspected victim of the SARS incident
Operatives of the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS), have been accused of killing a young man for smoking marijuana.
The accusation was laid by a Facebook user, KY Larry who lives in Port-Harcourt, Rivers state capital.
Larry reported that suspected SARS operatives allegedly killed the
young man during an altercation after he was caught smoking weed in
public. It was gathered that the SARS officers first shot the young man
on his hand as he was about to run with the wounded hand till he got
tired and fell.
The young man after falling reportedly begged for forgiveness but rather, he was shot at again leading to his instant death.
KY Larry took to Facebook and wrote:
“Just came back from
school to see this. Sars shot this man right in my street for smoking
weed.. They killed him instantly particles of his brain were in the pool
of blood I saw the floor.. He was shot on the hand at first.. He ran
with the bullet wound till he got tired and fell. They came right after
him and gave him a head shot..
While he begged for forgiveness.. How would he be killed
mercilessly for just smoking weed… Police work is not for illiterates..
Please government should adjust this problem. Our Nigerian sars are
bunch of miserable, untrained, illiterate, dirty, jobless and heartless
people..
They’re the law breakers.
We need to do something about this country I’m getting scared everyday.”
