The officers took me to the station’s backyard, where they tied my hands and legs and hung me in the air for several hours.

The story of how my life changed involves two cars: a Pathfinder Jeep, and a Toyota Avalon, and SARS.
Before I tell you this story, I should introduce myself. My name is Emeka Kennedy, and before this SARS wahala, I was a 35-year-old employee of the Importers Association of Nigeria (IMAN), a non-governmental organization that checks all forms of illegal importation, including small arms and goods.

The story of how my life changed involves two cars: a Pathfinder Jeep, and a Toyota Avalon, and SARS.
Before I tell you this story, I should introduce myself.
My name is Emeka Kennedy, and before this SARS wahala, I was a 35-year-old employee of the Importers Association of Nigeria (IMAN), a non-governmental organisation that checks all forms of illegal importation, including small arms and goods.
Everything changed on April 12, 2018, when I returned to Lagos from Anambra State where I had gone to drop a car (the Toyota Avalon) for my uncle.
My own car, a Pathfinder Jeep, was not where I left it, at the Trade Fair Complex on Lagos-Badagry expressway.
