Sanni Abubakar, a principal witness in the death of a Remo Stars Football Club player, Tiamiyu Kazeem, has narrated how operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad allegedly caused his death.
He countered the claim by the police that the late defender jumped out of the vehicle while attempting to escape., was crushed by a hit-and-run driver on the Sagamu-Abeokuta Expressway while being taken to the SARS office on Saturday.
Abubakar explained that one of the officers drove Kazeem’s car and trailed the police operational vehicle, where his friend was held. “Then they started driving again. I just saw the door of their Sienna opened; they pushed my friend out of the moving car onto the road. “I then saw the SARS guy that drove us making calls and asking his colleagues to come that he was in the hospital. I observed that he was moving towards the gate and I ran after him.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, in a statement said only one SARS operative from the Zonal Intervention Squad, Obada, Abeokuta, was involved in the incident.
