The officers claimed they were carrying out
instructions from the Divisional Police Officer
(DPO), James Chu.
According to The Nation, the victim was detained
for three hours, released on bail later around
9pm following the intervention of the police
human rights officer.

His brother who signed his bail bond was
allegedly made to part away with some cash as
“appreciation”.
The victim narrating his encounter said: “I was
in a commercial bus when we got to the area
and one of the policemen on the road was
demanding that our driver bribe him. I brought
out my phone and captured him and they saw
me. They dragged me out of the bus and seized
the phone I used to take the pictures.
They said I was under arrest but I begged that
they should delete the pictures and release me
but they refused.
The next thing, they called the station and a
patrol van appeared and they demanded that I
enter because the DPO wants to see me. I was
there from 6pm to 9pm.

Afterwards, they asked me to go home and
report back by 9am the following day. But before
I was released, I had to call one of my brothers
with my second phone to come and bail me.
“I got there Wednesday by 9am and waited till
2:40pm before my second phone was released.
This was after the human rights officer
intervened in my case and asked them to let me
go.”
This incident is coming a week after the
Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase,
pleaded with Nigerians to help fight corruption in
the Nigerian Police force by using smart phones
to record officers who engage in corruption,
bribery and bad conduct.
