Shocking: Policemen in Lagos threatens to release robbery suspect if N20k bribe wasn’t paid

Some officers of the Nigerian Police force have been accused of demanding twenty thousand naira (N20,000) before investigating a robbery incident during a night at an unnamed church in Ọgbà, Lagos.

The Police officers, were also disclosed to have threatened to return a member of the robbery gang apprehended by members of church.

This was disclosed by Endsars lead campaigner, Segun Awosanya popular known as Segalinks in a series of tweets on his official twitter handle.

Awosanya said, “I almost wept this afternoon when a citizen narrated how a church was robbed during a vigil by 3 robbers. Two escaped with valuables & one was caught. For the love of Christ the parishioners didn’t take laws into their own hands but took the matter to the police.”

“Upon getting to the station the Police officers demanded that they will need a down payment of N20k to attend to the case & in frustration the parishioners left the place. The next day (this evening) 3 officers visited the church threatening to return the thief and even arrest the parishioners if their demand for N20k is not met. Yes, this reads like some badly written Nollywood movie but it real. We have intervened and the Thief will be arraigned in court tomorrow & the officers involved disciplined. Thanks to DSP, Elkana Bala.”

why ain't I suprised, isn't it the police in a country absolutely nothing works??

We are used to the tyranny matef upon us so we hardly complain anymore, words like police is your friend, bail is free, trust the police, police protects lives and property should be charged as words of contempt cos they are blatant bare faced lives.

Uniformed men can't be diffrentiated from terrorizing louts or professional scammers. You'll come to them for intervention in a case but you'll end up being indicted, isnt that ironic.


Legislators are rubber stamp corrupted dim wits

Excecutive are bigoted immensely corrupt clueless self-serving wankers.

Judiciary are brown envelope loving sugercoted puppets.

while the only hope left i.e uniformed personnel are blood hungry bribe loving power drunk gays.

So now tell me what hope is left for this HELLHOLE??!!

I think it's time to jump ship.
