According to Ekwekwe, four SARS officers, led by Haruna Hamisu stormed his shop on February 16, 2018.
“I asked them what my crime was, but none of them told me. Other traders in the shopping complex equally asked the same question of the police officers. At a point, the police officers began to shoot to scare people away,” he said.
He said the police officers eventually took him away to ‘Area F’ police station, where the SARS office was.
At the station, the petitioner said he was beaten, stabbed in his hand and on his back, tortured, and dumped in a cell where the inmates subjected him to another round of beating.
The police officers reportedly took Ekwekwe to his shop the next day, February 17.
He also alleged that the officers broke into his shop and auctioned off his goods.
Ekwekwe said he protested to the officers,and one of them pushed him off a two-storey building.
The petitioner said his spinal cord got broken and he was taken to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital.
He said he became crippled and damaged his bladder and now wears a diaper.
Ekwekwe’s mother, Mrs. Ibekwe, led him into the hearing room on a wheelchair.
The Panel Chairperson Justice Doris Okwuobi (retd) admitted hospital documents, X-rays, telephone numbers of the indicted officers and other documents tendered by the petitioners as exhibits.
Okwuobi thereafter adjourned further hearing into the petition till November 13.

ReplyDeleteThis sars police men are heartless and wicked..
Just Negodu pure wicked!
Jeez
DeleteWhat a heart wrenching story. Do these SARS officers have family they go back to because this is beyond demonic
ReplyDeleteWhy are all their victims so far of only a particular tribe in this country? 🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteSo you only saw tribe in this touching story? May God heal you
DeleteYes now even Kolade Arowolo🙄
DeleteAnon 15:42, please don't raise your voice louder before them call you bigot. We know everything happening though it cut across different tribes but some are major victims.
DeleteAnon 15:42 and Teejay you're both bigots! Must you bring tribe into every issue? How will Nigeria progress if you people continue bringing tribalism into every damn issue? Teejay before you type epistle as reply please cross check your grammar so I can comprehend what you will type thank you!
DeleteMust tribe always come to play?
DeleteI pray Teejay will see true light one day, even if doesn't believe in the Nigeria he should at least stop preaching hatred on his sister's blog. The atrocities committed at that Anambra sars office was committed by an Igbo man against his own so what is the noise about. Let's call a spade a spade, sars unruly behavior was beyond ethnicity but gross misconduct.
