Nigerian Policemen Forcefully Extort N100,000 From Phone Dealer In Lagos, Label Him Fraudster

April 14, 2023

The policemen are attached to the Okokomaiko division of the Lagos State Police Command.

A mobile phone dealer at the Alaba International Market, Lagos State who identified himself as Onyinyechi Esther Anwusi, has lamented how some policemen attached to the Nigeria Police Force, Lagos State Police Command, forcefully extorted the sum of N100,000 from him without finding incriminating evidence on him.

The policemen are attached to the Okokomaiko division of the Lagos State Police Command.

SaharaReporters obtained a copy of the transaction receipt of the sum of N101,000 generated from Access Bank mobile App by the victim.

The receipt showed that the money was received by Ndueso Okon Archibong with the account number 9550455342, PalmPay Limited.

The victim narrated that the police officers accosted and searched him without warrant, then forced him to unlock his mobile phone and search through the contents of his phone but nothing incriminating was found.

The officers thereafter forced him to write a statement under duress indicting himself as an internet fraudster popularly known β€œas a Yahoo Yahoo boy” and forcefully made him pay the sum of N100,000 for doing nothing.

A witness to the incident told SaharaReporters that β€œThis is coming a few days after men of the Nigerian police force, the same Okokomaiko division extorted a citizen of the sum of N31,000 for not having an ID card.”

A senior police officer at the station said the Okokomaiko Divisional Police Officer days ago still settled a similar case among the policemen, adding that the latest incident should be brought to the attention of the DPO.

The state police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, could not be reached for comment.

What a shame. I now believe many of the men in our Police Force don't learn, despite all the evidence abound how many of their colleagues have been dismissed for doing stupid things like this, this bunch of low budget scoundrel still went ahead and started misbehaving.

It's good they've been caught. They should face disciplinary action and when found guilty, they should be dismissed.

The less idiots we have in our Police, the more they're be able to do their job diligently with professionalism.

The Nigerian Police Force be trying their best to maintain a good public outlook by projecting their selective disciplinary practices in the media. Where was this discipline during electoral malpractices of 2023 (s)election? Nonsensical nonsense.

The difference is just the geographic location. Police Modus operandi across Nigeria is one and the same.

Here is another intimidation in progress in Kogi

Trust the men in black, they would find another way to eat from the people ... Can there be a police force that is not currupt-able?

I guess when we fully integrate artificial intelligence.... The faster the better

Finally, a good outcome of this cashless policy. Extorting cash is no longer practical.
Police will have to do risk assessment going forward

Well, well, well, looks like the DPO of Okokomaiko got what was coming to him. What kind of idiot can't even supervise his own men properly? And then they have the audacity to engage in extortion on top of that? They deserve whatever disciplinary action is coming to them. It's about time that the police force gets cleaned up and starts acting like they actually care about the people they're supposed to protect. Let this be a warning to any other corrupt cops out there - you mess with the public, you're gonna get what's coming to you.

I know how many times I've had my students call me to come attest to them being students over the years after being detained /held by these Okoko policemen with the purpose of extortion when they're coming for weekend lessons. I had to tell them to start wearing native wears instead of those their young boys nigga clothes because the interruption was now becoming a bother.
