Residents of Shagamu, Ogun State, have taken to the streets to protest against the death of a Nigeria National League (NNL) player that was allegedly killed by Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

Soccernet.ng reported the death of Remo Stars assistant captain, Tiamiyu Kazeem, Yesterday. According to an eye witness, the local league player was driving around Shagamu area before SARS operatives arrested him.

Despite showing his identity card, he was allegedly accused of being a criminal, and SARS officials decided to take him to a nearby police station.

But with no police station in sight, the player decided to challenge the SARS officials on where they are taking him. This led to an argument between him and one of the SARS official who eventually pushed Kazeem out into an oncoming vehicle.

He was rushed to the hospital but was confirmed dead on arrival. Following the news of his death, residents of Sagamu took to the streets, saying they don’t want the security operatives in their city anymore.
