“Many of you might not know this but I have had a personal experience with SARS.” Savara Mudigi’s statement read in part.

“I had traveled to Lagos to shoot the video for Susanna and after the shoot, I decided to go listen to bangers in the club. BIG MISTAKE!!!.

On the way to the club, our vehicle was stopped by SARS. They forced us out of the car and told us to lie on the ground. Being foreigners, Mzwa and I heavily prayed for our lives.

All I heard was the sound of guns being cocked. I don’t know where I would be if it wasn’t for the few dollars I had in my pocket.

That’s one of my worst experiences with authority. I felt like a terrorist. Sad to see my blood turning against each other. END SARS IMMEDIATELY PLEASE” the official statement concluded.
