Hours after a businessman was held hostage for hours by men of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad in Lagos, FSARS operatives have allegedly tortured a man to death in Ogun State.

The victim, one Kazeem Hakeem, was reportedly tied upside down with a rope and tortured to confess to a crime was allegedly involved in.

According to Adewunmi Oshinaike, who posted the incident on Facebook, the 32-year-old victim knew nothing of the said crime.

Oshinaike said that when Hakeem was eventually untied, he landed with his head and died.

Oshinaike explained that a petition has been written to Ogun State Governor, Mr Ibikunle Amosun, and the matter is before a court in the state.

I know kazeem very well, he’s one of the most gentle soul I’ve known. He looks rough but he’s so gentle, when we were talking sometime back in 2014 about election he asked me for MTN recharge card and I said he is richer than I am then he dragged my pocket and took the money from me and from there we got talking.

I’ve met with him at Lagos garage in ijebu ode so many times and he is always hailing me.

He was robed and arrested by FSARS squad, he was tied upside down and was tortured badly to confess what he knew nothing about, when they untied him, on getting down his head was smashed on the floor and he died.

A letter has been forwarded to the secretary to the governor’s office (Ibikunle Amosun) and when he got the letter he said today in Ogun state Exco meeting will be for a short while because he wants to be present at the chief judge presiding over the matter today.

The chief judge requested the corpse be brought to the court today and all the officers who arrested him and those who tortured him.

We hope this will be a lesson to other security officers who think they can go Scotfree. Everyday for the thief and one day for the owner.
