TONY OKAFOR chronicles some of the incidents that gave the Awkuzu Special Anti-Robbery Squad facility in Anambra State the notoriety of a cell where SARS officers carried out extrajudicial killings
“We wanted to exhume their bodies so that their loved ones would know that they were dead and give them decent burial.” A report by the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law indicted SARS for killing and dumping the corpses in the river. The report was addressed to several authorities, including the Presidency and Amnesty International, among others.
It added, “The amount of torture and killing going on at the Anambra police SARS headquarters at Awkuzu and its annexes or unit locations in the state is geometrical. “At the scene, he noticed that they were men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad. He looked around and saw some elderly men, youths and women from our compound lying down.
“My brother fell down uncontrollably. As soon as he was shot, the SARS driver reversed their bus and four of the operatives rushed in the bus and took off, while the guy that shot my brother started running to join them and eventually caught up with them at the entrance to our street. A victim stated, “When I eventually regained consciousness, I found myself in their death chamber called Cell 5. It is the cell that is reserved for those they will kill. Congested and extremely dirty. Food is not allowed in that cell unless for occasional loafs of bread, which are shared in slices, and there is only one bucket of water for drinking every day.
“Then, on the second or third night of my staying there, the door of the cell opened one night. What I saw was a torchlight. “No energy was left in me, because I had not eaten real food except occasional slices of bread. He bought me something to eat along with a malt drink. After some days, I was called into the leader’s office to see my wife and my lawyer.”
“The boy’s spinal cord broke and he died when he was subjected to what they call ‘hanging torture’. He was written off as an armed robber. “I saw other killings at the place. Every morning, the inmates of cell 1 would be called to carry a dead body or two behind the torture hall. Any individual who had been detained by SARS for an extended period of time would tell you exactly that.
