The 30-year-old mechanic, Oladele
Adebanjo, who was allegedly tortured and shot in the leg by men of the
Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Lagos State Police Command, has sued the
police for N200m damages.
Contd. after cut...
PUNCH Metro had reported on
November 14, 2012, that Adebanjo was shot while in detention by SARS
policemen over allegations that he stole a commercial bus.
Adebanjo had acquired a Mazda bus model
E2000 on a hire purchase agreement of N1.8m from Olatunji Adeyemi in
August 2011. The bus was, however, stolen before the full payment could
be made.
Adeyemi, who was irked by the
development, reported the incident at the Oworo Police Division before
the matter was transferred to SARS where Adebanjo was allegedly tortured
and shot with a pistol in the leg by Taofeek Olokode, the head of the
SARS team handling the matter.
Culled - Punch
