Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) raid students of Landmark hostel

The Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) raided a students' hostel called Landmark in Ondo state yesterday February 3rd. SARS officials stormed the hostel which has 47 self contain rooms around 6pm to raid some 'Yahoo Yahoo' based on a tip off. They actually came with a list of names, but unfortunately the students they came to pick up were not home.

According to eyewitnesses, the SARS officials then asked students that have laptops to come forward with them and ended up arresting quite a few of the students after allegedly seizing their phones.

The students they arrested were then taken to Owo which is a 30min drive away from the university and some were kept overnight for interrogation.

The students are from Adekunle Ajasin University, Akugba Akoko, Ondo State and they say they are innocent and were unjustly arrested. They have all since been granted bail.

They wanted the story out and sent me a mail. They are bitter about the incident and want the officers cautioned. They say it's not a crime to own a laptop and all students are not into 'Yahoo Yahoo'
