Three protesters in Sagamu, Ogun State were shot and killed by operatives of Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in a protest where residents of the city took to the streets to register their displeasure at the killing of a footballer named Tiyamiyu Kazeem by SARS operatives.
Tiyamiyu Kazeem was said to have been pushed from a SARS van on motion onto a speeding car that eventually killed him on Saturday after members of SARS wrongly accused him of being an Internet fraudster (Yahoo boy).
