Dr Sid has joined the list of celebrities who have been harassed and humiliated by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad also known as SARS.
The gist is that the singer was driving along the popular Lekki-Epe expressway when he was pulled over by the overzealous policemen. The SARS officers then seized his phone and almost physically assaulted him, but for the intervention of label mate, Reekado Banks, and comedian Basketmouth.
An eyewitness said the policemen thought Dr Sid was a ‘Yahoo boy’ and decided to prey on him. It was when the policemen realised that there weren’t dealing with a ‘Yahoo boy’ because of the timely intervention of comedian, Basketmouth who was driving by that they let him go.
