A fashion designer has accused police in Festac of kidnap and extortion.

Joseph Ejiro said he "was kidnapped, beaten, tortured, threatened with death by members of the @PoliceNG"

He said he was at Festac on November 21 to make a delivery to a client when he was arrested at about 11am for no reason. He said they demanded to check his phone then pushed him into their van and beat him up when he was reluctant.

According to Ejiro, they drove off with him and, on the way, they threatened to kill him and frame him "with the charge of any crime they deemed fit". This was after they had searched his phone and found nothing incriminating.

He said they placed different objects in his hands and took photos of him holding those objects.

Ejiro said they then demanded that he paid them 500,000 Naira before he will be released. They kept negotiating with him as he begged that he doesn't have the money.

Eventually, he claims they forced him to unlock his mobile bank app with his fingerprint and they transferred 185,000 Naira to a bank account belonging to a certain Ashamo Oluwasola Samuel. They left only 3,500 Naira in his account.

He said they also took the 5,000 Naira cash in his bag, leaving him with only 250 Naira cash.

He claims he was eventually released by 7pm after 8 hours.

Nigeria Police FORCE living up to their name. Guy should have crammed one of their names and contacted a human right activist to take it up. Them go first pull their uniforms and then face trial in court.

Well all of the above is if the alleged victim's claims are true.

N uh

Wonderful

Nigeria police is definitely not your friend.
Like, to scrap the NPF, share to retain the NPF.

How did we eventually end up having criminals in uniform. The most disheartening part of this whole mess ongoing on daily basis is that the authorities silence is so loud on these issues. What they are interested in is hate speech and social media bill, so that nobody will speak out the evil ongoing in this country.

Those who are supposed to do something about it, do not even care.

They will only care, when it happens to their children.

The good thing is that, they will all pay the ultimate price, one day.
Nobody lives forever. If you like steal the whole money in the world. That day will come, for everybody.

This is very bad

The greatest crime I will commit to myself is giving birth to a child in this piece of shit of a location. I either move abroad or die childless. One must happen, one way or the other.
