The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr. Festus Keyamo (SAN), has called for the released of the videographer who was behind the Delta viral Special Anti-Robbery Squad video and was arrested by the police.
In the video, it was alleged that one person was killed by SARS operatives in Ughelli, in the Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.
The video has generated tension within and outside the Delta State, it had led to the mob attack on an off-duty SARS operative, Seageant Ohwovwiogor Fidelis, at the Ughelli Central Garage area.
Detective from the police command had been reported to have trailed the videographer to his Ughelli residence where he was arrested and detained.
Keyamo in a tweet described the arrest of the videographer as “purely a case of leaving the substance and chasing shadows.”
He said, “I urge the police to release this gentleman and drop all charges against him.
“His wrong judgment of the victim’s state nonetheless; by recording the incident and releasing it, he did a patriotic duty as a citizen.”
