Man Abducted By Men Wearing Police Jackets,paid 2.8M On Gunpoint by Newlymarried: 9:46am On May 17
A businessman has taken to social media to narrate his experience with ‘’men wearing police jackets with guns.'



Jay Trafford took to Instagram to state that ‘uniformed’ men who drove in a Sienna car ambushed him at about 9:30PM. He said they then accused him of being a cultist, handcuffed him, drove him to the third mainland bridge and made him release N2.8 million to them.


Read his story below….

Yesterday, on my way back from the gym around 9:30 PM, my life flashed before my eyes. A Sienna suddenly parked in front of me, and men wearing police jackets with guns approached me. They said it was a stop and search operation and ordered me to open my trunk. I complied and showed them my car documents, Then, they demanded my phone for a search. Suddenly, they accused me of being a cultist, shouting, “We’ve caught a cultist!” Everything happened so quickly. One of them got into my car, and the other handcuffed me, threatening to shoot if I didn’t get into their vehicle, insisting I was a cultist.



They started driving my car while I was in their van. I had no idea where they were taking my car until I managed to look outside the dark van and saw we were on the 3rd Mainland Bridge, with guns pointed at me.



To make a long story short, they took me to Agege and demanded a ransom of 10 million Naira, threatening to kill me if I didn’t pay. We went through over 20 POS terminals, and eventually, ~2.8 million Naira was transferred after hours of plea, because they couldn’t get all the cash that night. I was released around 3:45 AM.



Nigeria is very unsafe

This sounds like a case of robbery by on-duty police officers using an official police vehicle. This is not unusual. Many Nigerian policemen subsidize their monthly salaries with income derived from armed robberies and extortion at gunpoint.
