A melodrama occurred weekend at the sitting of the Benue State Judicial panel looking into human rights violations by the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) when Secretary of the panel, Barr Edward Yange, took on the position of a victim to narrate his ordeal in the hands of police.
Yange, a lead counsel to the panel and a Deputy Director, Legal Drafting with the Benue State Ministry of Justice, had vacated his seat during the sitting to describe how he was tortured over 13 years ago.
He told the panel that policemen from ‘D’ Division Police Station in Makurdi had on October 5, 2007, accosted a commercial motorcyclist who conveyed him as a passenger on his way to the motor park from where he intended to board a vehicle to his destination.
