A four hundred level FUNAAB student has reportedly killed himself after he was ‘victimized’ by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Ogun State.

Before taking his life, he shared a series of messages on Twitter hinting that he was suffering from severe depression.

However, very few people got to see it until after his death.

The young man with the username @Akinadeoluwa17 narrated how SARS operatives arrested him and asked him to pay N200,000 before regaining his freedom.

They accused him of internet fraud, which he denied, telling them he was a Forex Trader.

Nevertheless, they held him in custody despite having no incriminating evidence against him.

Ultimately, he lost all the trade he had ongoing, which according to him were investors’ money.

“It happened again tonight, I had the same nightmare that’s been reoccurring for months now since the incident happened, same faces, @Akinadeoluwa17 wrote on 17th April.

“SARS officials in their black uniform carrying us away in the dead of the night and I wake up with serious chest pain from fear of what I was about to experience.

“It happened on the 2nd of February 2020. I was in my hostel working on my post data slides because I had to present the next day, when all of a sudden these SARS official entered my room. It was around 10pm at night and I still had my generator on. Maybe that was why they came to my room first.

“They just collected my laptop and phones, my friends were also in my room, we were all told to dress up and come outside. One of my friend was given a dirty slap for practically not dressing up fast enough.

“‘what did we do?’ I kept asking. They didn’t say anything and they threatened to waste me if I didn’t stop asking silly questions.

“We were handcuffed like armed robbers all 17 of us, we were squeezed into small cars like goats to the slaughter, and from camp Abeokuta we were taken down to ibara police station

“Immediately we got there I decided to plead with who was in charge that I had a presentation in school the next day, that they should please let me go early because at that time it was 12 in the midnight already, he said I will pay 200k! Ha! For what?

“I told him to go through my phone that I am not a fraudster, that I am a forex trader he went through my phone and my friends phone there was nothing implicating there, except for the bank alerts and those money were not even mine, I told him they were investors money.

“I forgot to mention I opened trade on my trading platform before they came to arrest us. I also pleaded with them to give me access to my phone so I can close the trade or something they thought I wanted to call someone and they slapped me for requesting for my phone, the trade kept running till the next day.

“I slept in a cell that night for doing nothing, police will slap you and beat you, prisoners will beat you when you enter the cell too! I cried till the next morning not because I was sleeping in a cell for doing nothing but because I was on a losing trade with thousands of $ on the line and also because I was going to miss my project presentation which cannot be repeated.

“I was paraded like a thief in the morning and they were asking us what we did, with tears in my eyes I said ‘nothing’ they still slapped me and told me to admit I’m a fraudster.

“Without having anything incriminating on my phone! That day I lost almost 20k$ trading and I missed my presentation in school. They still wanted to collect bail after beating and harassing us for nothing. Since then I’ve been in massive debt, I couldn’t complete my education

“And my life has been very shambled. I have receipts for everything I said on air in case anyone thinks I’m lying. Suicide has been the only thought on my mind every day. So, in case I hurt myself and anyone is curious as to why I did it.

He allegedly took his own life on Wednesday after pouring out his heart and getting no justice.

Before then, he took to Twitter to pen a final message saying “I guess it’s goodbye now, no one heard my cry for justice and this had to happen, ha-ha, bye world.”

Meanwhile, his stepbrother, Toye Salawudeen, took to Twitter to announce his death. According to him, his family members were unaware of the deceased’s ordeal until after news of his death emerged and his Twitter messages were brought to light.

“Seyi was the quiet type and based on the kind of relationship we had, we were not very close,” The Punch quoted Salawudeen as saying.

“This morning (Wednesday), my mum called me that Seyi was dead and when I asked her what happened, she said he was vomiting and crying of stomach pain and asking for palm oil.

Akinade reportedly died before he got to hospital.
