SARS Officer Arrested And Paraded For Killing A Ram Seller In Kogi State

A trigger-happy member of the Special Anti Robbery Squad has been arrested after he reportedly killed a livestock owner.

A police officer attached to the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS), Sgt. Ibrahim Nassarawa has been paraded after he allegedly killed the manager of BB Umar Livestock, Ibrahim Ali Mbaba, popularly known as Nababa in Ganaja Village area, an outskirt of Lokoja in Ajaokuta Local Government Area of Kogi State.

According to KogiNews, the trigger-happy Police Officer was paraded by the Acting Police Commissioner, Kogi State Command, Ali Janga.

It was gathered that trouble started when some angry mob allegedly seized the motor bike of a SARS officer who allegedly hit a young girl.

It was also revealed that when residents of the area were appealing to the officer to convey the girl for treatment, he refused but rather called his other colleagues who are also SARS operatives.

The matter got worsened when men of the SARS arrived the scene and took side in support of their colleagues, an action that sparked the anger of residents of Ganaja, who are natives.

In the ensuing argument, there was a shootout, with a bullet allegedly hitting the manager of BB Umar, who was said to be seated in his shop.

The death of the manager further infuriated the locals in Ganaja, leading to a pandemonium.
