A Nigerian based gospel musician, Fame Desmond aka Fame D was unwarrantedly arrested by some Nigerian police officials/SARS for looking good – Fame Desmond says.
Sharing the news yesterday, he said that the policemen told him he was arrested because he dressed like a “Yahoo boy”. The rate at which Nigerian policemen/SARS arrest innocent boys just based on their looks is alarming.
In Aba, it was reported that SARS officials went round the street giving a free haircut to boys on dreadlocks and afro hairstyle – Pitiful.
Fame Desmond, the victim gospel artist sharing his encounter with SARS operatives, writes on Facebook.
“I WAS ARRESTED BY NIGERIA POLICE FOR LOOKING GOOD
……………………………………………
Nigeria police needs proper Orientation on how to discharge their duties, I was arrested by police because I dress good…so funny right?
When I asked the reason for the arrest they said I look like a yahoo guy, here and there they tagged me a yahoo guy…
Reasons, my shoes????, wristwatch, T-shirt????, nika(short), headphone????????, phone????, I was so surprised as you are right now.????????????
Ok fine,
I tried to prove my innocence the intimidation was high until they took me to their station where I saw plenty of yahoo guys….
