I got to the location by 9:30pm, took his measurements and agreed on payments, by 10pm I set for home, then I got a call from my sister that I shouldn’t come home because hoodlums are fighting and shooting sporadically. I decided to lodge in a motel close by.

On getting to the motel a yellow danfo blocked me, before I could realize what was going on I saw 2 black uniformed Beast with guns and word “SARS” written on their shirt.
The next word I heard was “enter motor you’re under arrest”. For what crime ? I asked them

Then one of them held my trouser and was pulling me into their vehicle, I was trying to bring out my tape rule and ID card, then I fell on the floor. They were trying to pull me up, while I was trying to pick my ID card, then a back hand slap landed on my face,

We all resisted entering prison, they brought guns and sticks and were hitting us until one person fainted, they poured him water and still jailed all of us. Entering the cell I saw HELL.
They had about 25 boys in the cell before, as we were entering, they were slapping us,

They had a sub cell in there that had female prisoners.
The old inmates took the change that the police didn’t collect from us, we were just being slapped front and back, I saw hell for 2hours, it was too much for my body, I almost gave up the ghost, I said a last prayer

The pains were too much, then I begged one of the old inmate, he pitied me and asked no one to touch me, I had tears rolling my eyes for 2hours, then I heard a voice calling my name from the gates, it was that my client friend that saw when I was being arrested but didn’t

I was traumatized, didn’t go out for a whole week, I didn’t pass there for several months. The day I passed that Ketu station, I was frozen when I saw the gates of the station, I started shaking, I didn’t pass there until this year.
A day I’ll never forget in my life

The day the Bastards meant to protect us destroyed a part of me, i was depressed for months, had suicidal thoughts, thought of ways to revenge, a part of me was dead, didn’t have human feelings no more.
What was my crime ? I WAS A TAILOR.
I pray their children inherit

Inherit their curses and die untimely
#EndSars
Enough is Enough
#stoppolicebrutality
I couldn’t tell anyone my bad experience, because of the stigma I got from friends who heard what had happened.
Today I’m no longer ashamed or bothered about what anyone thinks,
