Thread.....

#EndSARS

One monday morning like that these 5 SARS officials came down to my office at egbeda with one Mr Olumide, a bros that I know ... 

And started questioning me..

If I knew the Mr Olumide

I told them yes 

Mind you they were not on uniform o..

One of them asked me when was the last..

The last time I saw the Mr Olumide

I told them like 3 weeks ago...

I asked them what was the whole interrogation about. One of them asked me that he wants to buy a phone...I phone 8 plus

I told him I don't sell phones..

Mind you am a mobile software engineer.

He said but I sold.

A phone (tecno cx) to the Mr Olumide 3 weeks ago. .

I said yes ... I needed some money for my house rent as at that 3 weeks ago I had to sell my personal phone to the Mr olamide.

So I could sort my house rent issue...

They then proceeded asking where I got the phone.

I told them.

I bought it in the gsm village olugbede market..

I opened my drawer and brought out the receipt of the phone as proof of ownership..

One of them asked me to take them to the place I bought it ..

I said no problem I took them 6 of them 5 SARS and Mr olumide to where I bought the..

Phone ...I pointed to Mr Usman the person that sold the phone to me ...

He didn't deny selling the phone..

My mind was at rest hoping that am out of whatever trouble it is..

Not knowing what's gonna happen next

The next thing they said was that the phone was a stolen phone

And that they have been tracking the phone for about 4 months ago..

I was already shivering

Then I thought since I bought the phone and showed my receipt and where I bought it that I don't have any problem..

One innocent customer came to the Mr usman shop that moment that he wants to buy something..he didn't know they were on SARS

U know dey didn't put on their uniforms..

He was chased out the guy started vexing for the embarrassment..the next thing the SARS started beating the guy

Serious beating oh.. their team leader brought out his pistol and asked him (the customer) to b chained....

The whole market was gathered 

No one could asked what's going on..

We were cuffed too

Me

Mr olumide

Usman 

...they took all the Usman phones that he was selling..

About 52 phones ..both new and UK used

Cos they counted it though..

The shop was being shared between two ppl the other occupant was a woman she was pregnant.

So they wanted to empty her showglass too and she was claiming that those where not usmans phone... their team leader

Gave this pregnant woman a serious slap...

Then the Igbo traders interfered and explain that her stuff's are different from Usman own Sha...

They packed us inside a jeep..

Highlander jeep

(Me ..Usman..Mr olumide...and the Innocent customer) chained like criminals and left

I was wondering whats happening

They first of all took us to idimu police station..they got down I didn't know wat they went into the station to do we where still in the jeep

...

Later they brought down the Innocent customer and started beating him cause he insulted them earlier

At this point I was very scared mehnnn

Our phones has been seized at that moment.

About 30 mins later they returned the customer back into the jeep and started driving towards ogba area at agege...

I don't really know roads like that ..

I kept wondering where are these pp taking

To...when we got to ojodu 

The customer was already crying and begging....that he didn't know they where police..

He was asked to pay 50k right inside the jeep or he would b taken to the station...he was just crying

To cut his own part of the story they took him to one ATM spot

He withdrew 18k for them I think that was the whole money with him..and they dropped him there.

We proceeded on our journey ..

mind you I didn't know where our destination is ...

I was terrified like mad seeing the brutalities they have been displaying...Naso we enter express o

It was already getting dark like 7 or so....

They kept driving discussing and laughing

The driver was playing pasuma 

Fuji music

The three of us (me Mr Olumide and Usman) where very quiet during the whole journey...

At last we got to the station after several hours drive

I was just looking like mumu..

They asked us to come down..then I silently asked the mr Olumide that where are we like this? He said IBADAN..

Ah I don die

Nobody knew where I am keh

Not my mum not any of my family

I thought to myself....

My head was blank don't know what to do

They marched us to their OC office

...and the man started asking us questions one by one...

Our names 

Our states 

And how the phone got to our hands...

Olumide said he knows me very well he brought phone from me.

I told them I bought the phone from Mr Usman 

With receipt ...

The OC asked me where I got the receipt I told them it's from Usman..

That he issued it when I bought it.

This OC now asked one funny question...

He was like why did I asked for the INITIAL receipt of the phone before buying...I was trying to explain naso I chop another slap...

From one of the SARS that I should keep quiet...that am talking while their oga is talking!!!! Omoh...

Usman was asked where he got phone the guy said he got it from somebody a long time ago

That the owner just needed money when he bought it...

The OC said they should go and lock

Us up....

Where were disposed of our stuff's everything..

And where taken into cell...

Omoh...

That cell story sef is crazy mehn..

It has a small passage and 4 cells 

Everywhere is full no space 

Each room has nothing less that 60-70 ppl..

Even the passage was full.....there was just one big OX fan at the entrance of the passage before entering the whole cell gate...

We sha went through small questioning from their governor in the cell....

They have Marshal

They have governor

And OC torture in the cell���

We sha chop slaps and they searched us they collect 1500 from me...I hid it inside my boxers so those police didn't see it if not them for don collect am ..

Now after hearing our story..

The governor Sha told us to come inside cell no 1

Na stand we stand over night

No space...

I never see that kind gathering before ...like sardines

We are really suffering in this country I swear....

Fast forward to the next morning around 9:30

They brought us out to come and write statement...

Statement with slaps oh...

I confused I couldn't remember how to spell..

My name properly sef

The Mr Olumide I think he has someone in Ibadan 

His ppl came down to the station that morning... after some discussion and all

This man paid about 100k to them

And Mr olumide was released immediately...

Ah I shock...

So Na money matter ?? 

I don die

The IPO came to meet me and Usman and started asking us where we are from and so on....

I told him I am from Kogi State...I for just claim Info State Jeje that day o cos my late dad was from Ondo..

Mum is from Kogi...

He asked which part I told him that it's EBIRA

Naso these man said all ebira are criminals this and that...

That he would make sure I rot in jail ..

He was so serious as if it's something personal...

I was confused

He asked Usman

Usman is Hausa 

But his mum is from Kogi too

But ighala ...

Fortunately for Usman the IPO too

Was an ighala man....

The same Kogi o

They started speaking ighala language...the werey started smiling...

I just knew my village ppl are after me at this point...

This man went to bring food for Usman ni Sha...

I was still confused as to what exactly did I do wrong to the IPO

They allowed me call my mum..

With the IPO number 

I wasn't allowed to say much to mum on the phone..

They just told her to come to DUGBE SARS station in Ibadan..

It was later in the cell that Usman was telling me that EBIRA people and IGHALA people don't like themselves...

The country is bleeped mehn

No love anywhere...

Imagine..

What sort of tribalism is that one...same state oh

My mum came that second day 

She was asked to go and bring 200k 

...

Mum said she doesn't have such money..that where is her son

She wants to see her son

These SARS sent

Her out of the station....that she's not ready...

I was there for a week..

There is this my uncle's friend at Abuja that my mum called 

He knows ppl...

He called the commissioner of police of Oyo State....

The next Monday....I saw two black jeeps just came into the station compound....and they summoned us...

Me and usman

Two of the SARS ppl that came to arrest us and their OC 

were also taken 

Straight down to the commissioner's office at Ibadan...

Me I was just looking like

Like mumu....I don't know what was going on..

I heard the OC telling them not to mention the third party (Mr olumide that has been released the second day) at all in their explanations ...

After waiting for like two hours downstairs..they took us to the commissioner's office

It was a two stories building...

When I got there ...

There was one office next to the commissioner's office...I saw my mum and sister sitting there..

I was relieved a bit.

When we got inside omoh see office like palace..

Seeing the OC the commissioner just asked us that who

Who among the two of us (me and Usman) is the mother here presently...

I raised up my hands I was shaking..I thought my own don finish

He asked where is she...before I could talk..

The OC said ehn they have called her line that it's switched off..ahhh

I quickly told the commissioner that I saw my mum in one of those offices just now as we were coming...so they sent for her

So she came with my sister...

Guys take care of your mothers 

Nothing like mothers love....

Na me dey inside cell my mama don lean finish ���

So the commissioner started asking us questions...I explained my own part ... about the phone how I got it and receipt and all..

He asked Usman he explained

..the commissioner was surprised

He asked me if I explained to the officers I said yes ...

Confused he asked the OC

That y was I there since last week despite I produced receipt and showed them where and who sold the phone to me....

The OC quickly denied instantly that he doesn't know about the case ...that it's until that same day morning that he's just learning about it ah...omoh

Me I was

Too terrified to even counter their claims all I just wanted was to leave there alive...

The commissioner apologized to my mum ....and warn me to b careful whenever am buying something like that next time..

Then he asked "who was the complainant of the said stolen phone

There was total silence....

Ah

Nothing the SARS couldn't say anything Sha....

No complainants 

And they were threatening us before that the owner of the phone was robbed ..that even a car was stolen...

So all Na lie

We are finished in this country...

I was Sha released

That day...

So basically what these ppl do 

Is to get some phones from God knows where and note down their IMEI and SERIAL numbers...

Give it to someone to sell in a market ....

And start tracking the phones just to arrest ppl involved and extort them.. claiming it was robbed

This country is bleeped mehn......
