Twitter user, Yemi, reveals his experience in the hands of Sars officials on his way home yesterday.
According to him, he was with his friends in a bolt but suddenly attacked by Sars officials who interrupted their movement. The bolt man was paid and he was forced into the sienna car of those officiers.
His phone was checked but nothing found till they had access to his Gmail. He was asked to pay 5m but refused, then was assaulted to make a video showing that he was bribing the officers with the sum of 2m stating that he's a Yahoo boy.
