How the FCID kidnapped me and demanded 10Million Naira

On Thursday ( 7th Oct 2021) I went to the immigration office to get my passport. I was done at about 11am, then I requested for bolt to head back home, almost getting home I kinda dozed off. On getting to Four points hotel the driver applied sharp brakes and then I woke up.

Only to see a gold Toyota Camry stop in front of us and 4 men came out (one of them had a Gun) I was scared cos I thought they were kidnappers (which they actually were/are) another guy come out of the same car in Police uniform, they told the driver to park well.

And one of them asked the driver where he picked me up from and he told them passport office. The same guy told me to get down and go to the back seat. I asked for what reason. He asked if he could know me and I told him my name, he asked for a means of identification.

I showed him my passport, he asked what I did I told him “I’m an Auto detailer ” obviously he didn’t know what that was, so I explained and he asked for my work ID, I told him I didn’t have that on me. He said he needed to see proof of what I did.

I said what exactly are you stopping me for, then I brought out my phone to show him proof (pictures and videos) then he grabbed my phone and told me to get into the back seat of the bolt, I said no way am I going in there. *Gun caulks* so I get into the back seat and.

Two of them sat with me and then one in front. They collected my other phone and my passport, one started going through my old passport and was asking what countries I had been to and what I went there for, I didn’t respond. They started going through my Whatsapp messages.
And told the driver to head to their station in Alagbon (which is just beside the same immigration office I just left). They read all my chats and saw American bank details ( that belonged to my wife, a few friends and some third parties) next thing I heard
“I don catch am, this one Na picker” “you are fraudster” “you are laundering money” I was irritated and said “you know Wetin you dey talk at all??” That started speaking Benin language amongst themselves till we got to the station.

They now told me to pay for the fare, I said that was not my destination and I came down, I don’t know how they sorted it. I was taken to their office and they started interrogating me. I explained how the account details came about
That I have a friend that had dollars in his US account and needed naira, and I was able to get people to buy them off from him. And they asked if I had the license to Run a BDC or if I was a licensed middle man, I said “ehn I no understand”

That’s how they started making threats that they were going to naked me and made sure I ended up in jail the next day after parading me to the media and charging me to court for money Laundering and illegal Trading.

They printed out 50 pages from my Whatsapp conversations (anything relating to money, plus the account details). I asked to make a call but they refused and said until I write a statement before they “maybe” allow to make any call. I said I wasn’t going to do that
I kept quiet most of the time, so it triggered them. It was getting late, so I wrote the statement (in the best way I could explain the situation). After that I was taken to their female boss ( a real witch) she threatened me with jail term and said she would make sure I never leave the country cos they had my finger prints, I kept quite. They made a video of me holding the 50document and my statement and were asking me “what do you have to tell Nigerians?” It got to a point I started getting weak cos I was fasting but the whole drama got me hungry.

I begged them to let me just go home, that they have no right to detain me, all they have to do was further investigate whatever it is they saw, which is the right thing to do. That fell on deaf ears. Then I started begging them that I just wanted to go home that my wife would be Worried, and nobody knows where I was at that moment, they said I should call someone to come and negotiate with them, then I said okay.. they gave me the phone (Na there then Bleep up) but thank God they did. So I called my mom and told her where I was, she sent a family friend
To the station, on him getting there, there was no record of me in that police station, he called several times they didn’t allow me pick up, after a while when their attention was diverted I picked the call and told the man the building I was in (he was about leaving)
Long story short, they told him to bring 10Million Naira before they can let me go, I even offered them 200k they insulted my life. Police station closed at 6pm, they took me to detention, took off my shoes, wedding ring, chain and belt. I begged the warden to please put me in a
Better cell (make den no beat me inside) so I gave him 3k, so they kept me in front of the cell with some other people awaiting to go in as well. The stench was killing, I said “God I am not praying and fasting for nothing, you cannot make me sleep in this mess”.

It was about 10:30pm when they started taking us into the cell, I told the guy I wanted to pee but I preferred to pee outside before going in, I spoke to God again “ you have to do this last minute miracle, I don’t know how you are going to do it, but I will not sleep here”
The warden shouted and told me to hurry up, that he was taking me to cell 3(for criminals), say I dey form sharp abi, Omo my heart cut!!! As I was about putting my foot in I just heard my name, one of the guys that arrested me earlier had come back to the station, at 11pm.
And the warden said “Ahan Wetin you still dey find for office, you don dey do 24hours duty? The guy said “ Na sleep I dey sleep when I get call say if den born my papa well make 12 meet AIG pikin for cell”
He took me back to the office, gave me back my passports and belongings
He apologised and said “why you no tell us naa”
Apparently that whole team had been called back to the station by that night by the AIG, who happens to be my Dads childhood friend.

FCID stands for Force Criminal Investigation Department.

I always say this, if you have the opportunity to leave this country, leave

You honestly won't regret, I left many yrs ago, returned over 10yrs ago.

My point is at least have a second option

Before I give my prophecy on the evil that will befall the Nigerian police I want to sound this warning to everyone listening.

We are living in perilous times, the only difference between a police officer and an armed robber or kidnapper is the uniform and the official office they operate from therefore I will encourage that every Nigerian does the following.

1. Delete financial transactions from your phone, and also delete text messages that involves huge contracts, reminders to make transactions involving millions of cash, meetings involving money... etc.

2. If you have pictures you snapped in Europe or American delete them from your phone, you can save them on your laptop.

3. Delete WhatsApp chats that has to do with transactions involving dollars or anything about money and abroad.

4. Have a valid identity card wherever you're going.

5. Know the DPO of your local police station so in situations like this you can easily call him to help you out.

I see a second wave of protest, this one will be bloodier than that of endsars, I see the masses turning against the police force, I see blood, I see bodies of policemen and women littering every nook and cranny of the country, I see the survivors burning their uniforms.

This I have seen.

That Bolt driver is your prime suspect. That was an "agbata eke" hustle they pulled on you.

Hold the Bolt guy.

We die here

HOLLY GRAM TOLD YA ALL D COUNTRY IS FVCKED UP BIG TIME. SAME REASON I HIGH ON MY KUSH 24sc.. WTF MAN

This your story is pathetic and traumatic to read.
Sorry for what you passed through.
When Nnamdi Kanu was telling people that Nigeria is a zoo, you guys were calling him names, now see the kin thing going on inside the corntree.

Shouldn't citizens sur all these useless forces after such humiliating and false accusation and detention?
Imagine what Chiwetalu Agu is been subjected to, while Gunmi is walking a free man

The death of our heros past (end sars protesters) shall never be in vain.
End the unscrupulous elements called Nigerian police! We need state controlled policing that will be easy for the state governments to monitor

Nigeria my country! Smh

Omooooooooo

, theraregem1, okefranci, joylove2324, vedaxcool...can we justify this under d administration of your paymasters?

The police accused him falsely of money laundering and instead of doing the right thing if he was guilty, they demanded bribe so as to release him for him to go and continue the false money laundering scheme they accused him of
Now, he was released because he knew someone but the same policemen would not be brought to book. They'll look for another victim

Dialpad:

Baba pray bad things don happen to you.. George Floyd wasn't in Nigeria!!.. Some police just dey misbehave

Ok

I need to leave this country and then be loving Nigeria from afar.

I need to leave the shit hole.

Wow. You are dead if you are nobody and you know nobody.

Hopeless country.

If criminals no kill u Na police go kill you.

The common man is on his own.

Op Na the bolt guy set u up.

Okay

Congratulations to you.
But what happens to someone who does not know an AIG.

Blood of Jesus

Hmmm...
The common man has no rights in Nigeria.
Anyone without connection in high places is dispensable.
Only God knows how many innocent ppl are rotting in jail now.

What if you don't know the AIG nko?

Hold the Bolt guy.

Not at all

The poster was sitting at the back seat of the Bolt car. That is the quickest way they profile people by police.

My advice to young guys is to if possible sit with Bolt drivers in the front seat if you are journeying alone with the driver. It saves you and the driver from some harassment both from police officers, VIOs and miscreants.

Once you balance at the back as the car owner, you attract all kinds of attention.

Jesu, the people who are meant to keep you safe are the real criminals, Nigeria isn't getting better soon.

Now imagine what would have happened if he didn't know anyone at the top, they might even kill him and wipe his bank account clean.

A hell hole that will frustrate anyone's life.... Just imagine this man not knowing anyone? That's how they will force him to confess to something he knows nothing about.

under your corruptionistas regime which marked the last time a decent meal came your way I suppose, this was a common occurrence. akwusu SARS murders a huge number of Igbos and people like you then did not know human rights applied to Nigeria.
