The Lagos State Judicial Panel of Enquiry and Restitution for Victims of SARS related abuses and other matters Saturday heard the chilling details of how the now-dissolved police unit allegedly tortured a pregnant woman and her husband for 22 days, till they lost their baby.
Ogechukwu Obiechina and his wife Ndubuisi told the panel that the incident occurred in 2017 after the operatives falsely labeled her a thief and kidnapper.
Mrs. Ndubuisi, who spoke for the couple, said she was two months pregnant at the time, but that during beatings, the men threatened to “force the baby out of me.”
