More details have emerged about the abduction of a Social Media Influencer by SARS operatives in Victoria Island Lagos at the late hours of 12 midnight on Friday, an event that rolled over to the early hours of Saturday.
According to Tomiwa, they (he and his friends) were on theri way to a friend’s anniversary at VI, while approaching Oniru, they were double-crossed by a gold KIA Sorento Space bus at Water corporation drive, 6 armed men dressed in black from head to toe jumped out of the vehicle and approached our car one of his friend who was driving that night was asked to turn off the ignition and step out while two others came to the passenger sit where he was and told him and his other friend to step out of the vehicle as well.
While they were out, one of the armed officer dipped his hand into his pockets and started emptying it, he got hold of my phone and asked me to unlock it which he did, after thoroughly going through my social media apps, bank alert messages he handed over his phone back to him. The same process was carried on his two friends as well.

meanwhile we had no idea where they were taking us to even though we asked and all they kept saying was they’d take us to the police station. At a point @TheOnlyDolapo was threatened by one of the officers saying he was going to shoot him.— Tomiwa Talabi (@itsTomiwa) October 19, 2019
while they held us hostage (yes we were hostages ‘cos we didn’t do anything wrong) they stopped other cars and started checking them as well, this was already 1:00AM. Then one of the armed men muttered that our fee is 100k.— Tomiwa Talabi (@itsTomiwa) October 19, 2019
We didn’t get a response to that. At this point it was either for them to lock us up or we payed our way out. We suggested we’d transfer but they declined, we ended up giving them cash (Not up to 100k). And they left us alone.— Tomiwa Talabi (@itsTomiwa) October 19, 2019
the funniest part was when one of them uttered out “make una do comot for here oo, because robbers dey rob people for this spot” like seriously???— Tomiwa Talabi (@itsTomiwa) October 19, 2019

They had no name tags
They had no uniform on
Their vehicle had no plates
And we committed no crime.
THE END.
