Students of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) have accused men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of opening fire on their SUG bus. The students also accused the force of brutality and kidnap.
Pictures of the bullet-riddled bus was shared on Twitter with the words:
”Last night, SARS opened fire on Lautech SUG bus. The students were patrolling the school area due to incessant robbery attacks. SARS has refused to do nothing about the robberies in Lautech student area and are now shooting students trying to protect themselves #EndSARS”
LAUTECH’s Student Union President, Abiodun Oluwaseun said the personnel of the anti-robbery squad attacked student security committee members who were on patrol of the school vicinity. He also said the whereabouts of the attacked students is unknown.
“Students who were more of Vigilante were attacked by the men of the anti-robbery squad with our vehicles destroyed and the students referred to as criminals”.
“Our students were shot at and many were taken away in a fashion like they were been kidnapped because they refused to allow extortion to take place again on campus, since we formed the security committee, we mandated them to ensure extortion stops and that’s one of the reasons operatives of the anti-robbery squad are angry”
