A Nigerian lady, Lawal Halimat, revealed a painful story of how her brother was allegedly murdered by SARS officers in Ibadan, Oyo state four years ago.
Halimat explained how her older brother was part of a fight that happened and was arrested by officers at Adelubi police station. According to her, the case was then transferred to SARS office where the officers there allegedly killed her brother.
She stated further that immediately she got the information of his arrest, she went to the garage and pleaded with the transport company there to permitt her to travel in their commercial bus to Abuja as she does not have the means to pay her transport fare. She said the transporters allowed her and that when she arrived at Abuja, she accompanied some police officers who after listening to her explanation, told her she should go back to Ibadan as it is only cases of persons that have been killed that SARS officers claim have been transferred to Abuja.
According to Halimat, she fell sick during the trouble of searching for the truth about her brother and that it was the hospital where she went for treatment that she discovered that the police officers brought her brother’s corpse to be kept in the morgue. She said the officers were aware that her brother had been killed all along and still kept on deceiving her and extorting money from her.
She alleged that one of the officers even told her to meet him at a hotel for a private meeting. She added that it was the death of her brother that killed their mother.
Her words:
“My older brother and some boys got involved in a fight. They arrested him and took him to SARS office. From Adelubi police station they took him to SAR office then killed him. After killing him, they asked me to bring N350, 000 cash.
“I gave them N250, 000 cash. When I gave them the money, they asked that I bring the remaining N100, 00. I went back and gave them N100, 000 cash on the date we agreed.
“When I got there after payment, I did not meet my brother. When I asked for his whereabout, they told me they have transferred his case to Abuja’
