Some armed operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) have been spotted in viral videos assaulting a young Nigerian man.
Twitter user, @TheNurse007 who shared the videos said the incident occurred at Eliozu in Port Harcourt, Rivers state capital on Tuesday September 15. A man was heard saying in the background that the young man did nothing wrong.
The Twitter user wrote;
We battling #COVID19 and also SARS be terrorizing innocent citizens with reckless abandon. This happened in Port Harcourt today.
Every male is at risk of being innocently whisked away like they were kidnapped, tortured as if they were terrorist. We live and walk in fear every single day in port Harcourt because of these beasts in government uniforms.
If this happened in another country Nigerians will share it on socials and print placards with #BlackLivesMatter on it. But we can’t protest against injustice against our own. #EnoughIsEnough #EndSARS pic.twitter.com/o0GoZLuQBb
