Akwuzu SARS plays the role of policing, prosecuting, and executing without trials. It was a case of a Malefactor trying to enforce the law. Even if the place (Akwuzu SARS) was clandestine their evil activities were known to everyone. People who had been there said even in broad daylight, the place feels dark and saturated with the stench of Blood, body odours, and untreated wounds. Akwuzu SARS operatives just like Typical Nigerian Policemen, uses force, Torture, and other unapproved ways to extract information from suspects. Going by this you should know that more Torture and Torment are given to the innocent ones too for not admitting to committing a Crime which may eventually lead to their lifeless body floating on the Ezu River. Akwuzu SARS officers are known for mostly using Starvation, death by hanging, and headshots on their victims, there were cases of police officers blocking urinary tracts of suspects by putting sticks in their “pee holes”. When you read about their extrajudicial killings and unalloyed abuse of human rights you will wonder how such evils never made headlines. They had special welders that could improvise and make good manually constructed Torture equipment that was used to Torment suspects. Sometimes inmates would be so thirsty that they even drink their urine.

On the morning of January 19, 2013, villagers in Amansea, Awka, Anambra State woke up to find the bodies of over 35 people floating on the Ezu River. For years, the exact killers of these people remained a mystery.
However, four years later in 2017, the people of Amansea, Akwa, and even international organizations accused the Awkuzu SARS of being responsible for throwing bodies in the Ezu River. The river is their only source of water. Until now, nobody seems to know how the bodies got there but they knew it came from Awkuzu SARS. EzuRiver has its source at Agbogwugwu in Awgu Local Government Area of neighbouring Enugu State. Awkuzu to Amansea is about 40 kilometers.
In October 2020, the infamous Awkuzu SARS became Famous for its doings. It led to more outrage for the youths of Nigeria who were already agitating for the disbandment of the Special Anti- Robbery Squad (SARS) and protesting Against Police Brutality. Awkuzu SARS to date still functions as a correctional facility where the minds of the offenders and police officers are the same, just that one could get away with Crimes and even murder without getting booked for it.
