Wrong Move: SARS officers bite more than they can chew after slapping soldier

A group of SARS operatives experienced a unique kind of difficulty after meeting with a soldier thought to be a fraudster.

In Abeokuta, Ogun State, the officers of the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) had too much to chew following an assault on a soldier thought to be a Yahoo Boy.

A footage shared via Instagram today showed a violent scene revealing a confrontation between a group of policemen and the serviceman.

 

The soldier who was dressed casually did not appear pleased following the assault which ensured his shirt was ripped.

As seen in the video, the party engaged themselves in an unfriendly conversation held close to a vehicle suspected to be owned by the soldier.

 

The incident is coming at the heels of an order by the Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Idris who warned SARS officers against needless search.

This was his reaction to the call on social media urging the police force to dismiss the unit.
