42-year-old woman slumps and dies after Federal SARS operatives arrested her 17-year-old son for 'no reason' (Details, pics)

It has just been reported that a 42-year-old woman identified as Asiata Adeyanju slumped and died after some Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) operatives, arrested her 17-year-old son.

The Nation reports that 17-year-old Muiz was picked up in from of his home at No 9, Ajenifuja street in Ilupeju, Lagos, by officers from Ipakodo division in Ikorodu while trying to put on the generator.

While the young man was whisked away in their van, his mother who was said to be hypertensive ran out of the house chasing the young man when she collapsed on the road. Her husband, 43-year-old Musendiku Adeyanju also abandoned his prayers to save his son.

They further reported that the 17-year-old boy was released after his father caught up with the officers and explained to them that his wife has already been rushed to the hospital due to her son’s arrest.

He said: “I returned from work around 9pm, after which my wife served my food. After the dinner, I performed ablution to observe the prayers I missed. I was in the middle of the prayers when there was power outage. My wife instructed Muiz to start the generator in front of the house. The boy was arrested by F-SARS when he was about to put on the set. I overheard one of my neighbours, Mr Emmanuel, telling the policemen that the boy lives in the house. I had to break the prayers to attend to the situation. Before I got to the scene, the police van had left the spot. We ran after them but we didn’t see them. I was returning home to take my car and search for the police van when I saw my wife at the street junction, gasping. People around rushed her to a hospital. I joined neighbours in search for the police van. We met the F-SARS officers at a junction in Ilupeju and I explained to them my wife had collapsed because of my son’s arrest. That was when they released the boy to us. We had barely left that scene when I got a call that my wife had died.”

17-year-old Muiz also narrated his experience saying: “I was pulling the generator’s starter when the policemen grabbed my trousers and asked me to enter the bus. Before I knew what was going on two of the officers started slapping me. They took me away with some other people I didn’t know. They were moving round the area, picking up people. They wore black shirts with FSARS boldly written on them.”
