A trailer parked to give fuel to another trailer who was low on fuel, SARS officials in a yellow bus crossed them and demanded for settlement. One thing led to another and they open fire on the drivers. I was in my car at first then I left and ran away but I came back to join the protest to prevent them from spoiling my car.

This is coming following a report that five policemen were detained by the Niger Police Command in affiliation with the shooting of a villager, Ezekiel Aliyu, in the Munya Local Government Area of the state.
