operatives of shattering his leg with bullets
- The Ogun state civil servant said the trigger-happy
police officer opened fire on people including
commuters and traders in Ibara area of Abeokuta
- According to Ola Hammed, the operative accosted
him and accused him of being among the mob
An operative of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery
Squad (F-SARS) has been accused of riddling the
left foot of an Ogun state civil servant with
bullet.
Ola Hammed, a Physics teacher in Ogun state
said he the operative was among a team of SARS
officials attacked by some residents in the Ibara,
Abeokuta area of the state, after a man was
brutalised for videoing a brawl involving the
cops.
Hameed alleged that the trigger-happy police
officer opened fire on people including
commuters and traders in the area.
According to Hammed, while people while
running for safety from the gunshots, the SARS
operative accosted him and accused him of being
among the mob.
Hameed said: “My ordeal in the hands of the Federal
SARS men happened on June 12, 2018. A fight erupted from
an argument between a man and a FSARS team stationed
under the Ibara Bridge, Abeokuta.
“The incident, which lasted for hours, drew the attention of
many passersby and okada riders. At a point, one of the
SARS officers spotted a guy among the crowd taking a
video coverage of the incident. He approached the guy and
started beating him up.
“The disgruntled crowd got angry and started throwing
stones at the SARS operatives. The next thing we heard was
that they (FSARS) opened fire, shooting continuously. They
aimed at people with the intention to kill.
“Though some people were miles away from the scene of
the incident, we all took to our heels, running for our lives
because of stray bullets.
“One of them (cops) accosted me. I told him that I did not
have anything to do with the stoning. I was saying that and
moving away from him. He said, ‘I will spoil your leg,’ and
the next I heard was a gunshot," Hammed said.
Stating that the police has refused to investigate
the matter, he however said he was rushed to
the hospital after he discovered he was hit in the
left foot.
“I can barely leap on the other leg. I cannot sleep at night
due to the pains I go through, while the person that
perpetrated this inhuman act is out there in the comfort of
his home,” Hameed added.
I want the Ogun State Government to act fast on the issue
before the operatives wreaked more havoc on innocent and
defenceless citizens. The conduct and operations of the
SARS men have sent many Nigerians to their early graves,”
he said.
Meanwhile, adegokblog.blogspot.com previously reported that
some operatives of the F-SARS team have been
arrested in Abuja, Nigeria's capital city.
The arrested operatives were said to have been
arrested by the Nigerian police and detained in
Abuja.
It was gathered that the affected officers - 32 of
them - are yet to be allowed to see their families
and lawyers.
