Commercial Tricycle Operators operating around Kilo, a popular bus stop in Surulere area of Lagos state have accused officers of the notorious Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of Nigerian Police Force unjust arrest of their members for purpose of extortion.
The latest of such arrests, the tricycle operators said was on Saturday, when SARS men took away eight of their members in Kilo for the sole purpose of extorting money from them. The transporters operating under the aegis of Tricycle Owners and Riders Association of Nigeria (TORAN) said the SARS officials stormed their park in Kilo bus stop and whisked away two tricycle riders.
An eyewitness said of the raid, “they (SARS operatives) came with a yellow bus with registration number FKJ413XD and suddenly stopped at the tricycle riders’ park at Kilo, Surulere. Upon sighting the SARS officials, the whole area was thrown into confusion as everyone scampers for safety, knowing what is at stake if caught by the officers notorious for carrying out extra-judicial activities."
