Deputy Superintendent of Police with force number 14534, Cordelia Nwawe, and Inspector Austin, both attached to Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex, Alagbon Close, Lagos State, have been identified as officers who extorted N22million worth of bitcoin from two young Nigerians, Morakinyo Tobiloba Peter and Yusuf Samson Dayo.

SaharaReporters had reported that Peter and Dayo, both realtors, were stopped on July 14, 2021 while driving along the Ikoyi/Ajah Expressway by a team of police officers in mufti led by Austin, who adopted a fictitious name “Osas”.

The duo said they were treated like criminals while Nwawe, a former Public Relations Officer of the Sokoto and Akwa-Ibom states police commands respectively asked the officers to kill them if they cannot pay N20million as bail

“We were driving on the Ikoyi/Ajah Expressway precisely at 1004 on the 14th of July 2021, when a team of police officers in mufty accosted us and ordered us to park. We parked and the police officers jumped into the car and ordered us to open our phones,” one of the victims had told SaharaReporters.

“Since we have nothing to hide, we gave them our phones and they found nothing incriminating. To our surprise, they ordered us to drive down to their office, we insisted we must know our offences before we can move down to the station. But the police officers descended on us and beat us for disobedience. They claimed we were too fresh not to be a fraudster. We begged them and showed them that we are realtors. We gave them our identity cards and showed them some of our ongoing projects but they insisted we were fraudsters.

“When we got to the police station at FCID Annex, Alagbon Close, Lagos, we were quickly pushed into the cell and they went away with our mobile phones. The police officers returned some hours later and told us we were trading in Bitcoins.

“Before we know it, they started beating us and calling us Yahoo boys, we told them we were not Yahoo boys. We explained that we are realtors and it was because of the decline in naira that we converted our money into bitcoin, but they kept beating us and they said we should write statement around 8:00pm in the night,” he added.

The duo added that the statements written by them were torn into pieces by the policemen while they were forced to sign another ones written by the officers alleging that they were Internet fraudsters.

“We wrote the statements and they tore it into pieces and wrote another statement for us and forced us to sign it. We did signed the statement and they took them before their boss, DSP Cordelia Nwawe with force number 145341, Admin section, FCID Annex, Alagbon Lagos,” they added.

“Mrs Uwawe asked her officers what happened and they narrated the whole story to her, they told her we are Yahoo boys which we denied and the woman said they should give us bail condition, they demanded N20million from us and when we said we don't have such amount of money, the woman said they should go and kill us if we insist we cannot pay them N20million as bail.

“Officer Austin who led the team also adopted a fictitious name so that people will not know his true name. He was addressed as Osas by DSP Uwawe, he was the one who took us to the cell and threatened to kill the two of us if we cannot transfer the N20million in bitcoin to them.

“So when he bought out his gun and was taking us out of the cell to kill us as ordered by her boss, DSP Uwanue, we now succumbed to him and said he should remove the money from our account, he insisted he wanted bitcoin and not naira, he provided another bitcoin account and he transferred N22million equivalent of bitcoin from our account.”

They urged human rights activists and the government to intervene on their behalf.

Speaking on the incident, a human rights lawyer, Adegbola Odunyemi asked the Inspector-General of Police to investigate the matter.

“I hereby call on well meaning Nigerians to prevail on the office of the Inspector-General of Police; Minister of Police Affairs; Chairman, Police Service Commission; Speaker, House of Representatives; the Senate President and His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, to help us recover this money from these criminal elements parading themselves as police officers.

“My clients are realtors and it was because of the decline in naira that made them to convert their money into bitcoin, they are not Yahoo boys.”

MangekyoAlt:
Is the bitch in handcuffs already?
Or they'll sweep this under the rug again......

FarahAideed:
When we eventually get Biafra these are the same officers that are going to appear and head our Police ...The rot in Nigeria is a pandemic

NigeriaZoo:


Well, just give us Biafraudulent and we will manage, better than Nigeriastan !

Rexwalters1:
Stop been naively sarcastic, no one is giving you anything.

mrvitalis:

They misbehave because the Nigeria system allows them to misbehave

When u travel outside why don't u drop nylon on the floor ,or break traffic rules or even change lane anyhow

Comparing biafra with patriotic citizens that would willingly pay 30% of their income as tax for the countries first 10 years

It can't happen why do u think Igbo governors don't want to tax igbos ...they know the implications ...we don't take rubbish

NigeriaZoo:


Okay, we will stay in Nigeriastan then !

Rexwalters1:
A zebra can never change its stripes into a donkey, South East of the River Niger will forever be a part of Nigeria.

mrvitalis:

If only u read books

Countries come , countries go ....biafra is an igbo nationalist movement

Those 200 trillion cubic ft of gas u guys are eyeing ...u won't get none. ..

The igbo revolution is a matter of time even IPOB would take back sit when it comes

Rexwalters1:
Only if you knew there was nothing like igbo nation until the Oyibos forced you South Easterners to live as one based on the fact that you all speak a similar dialect.

Go back & read your history properly, is the Obi of Onitsha the paramount ruler of the igbos? an Umuahia man is not as refined as an Onitsha man.

mrvitalis:

Nothing like the word Igbo but we had people that we share culture , value system ,food and language with ...that's what makes Igbo an ethnic nation with many tribes

So run along

Rexwalters1:
Before 1914, please What was the name of South East Nigeria as we know it today?

Was it called Biafra or Nri Igbo? Or just a bunch of bush Congo people living in hamlets?


The Kingdom of Nri (Igbo: Ọ̀ràézè Ǹrì) was a medieval polity located in what is now Nigeria. The kingdom existed as a sphere of religious and political influence over a third of Igboland,, not the whole igbo land.

mrvitalis:

People decide what and which identity they choose ...I speak and share alot in common with all igbos in Nigeria ,garbon , equatorial guinea than any other tribe in Nigeria

When the time is right we igbos would make our ethnic nation a country n there is nothing your worthless opinion can do about it

Focus more on your people

Rexwalters1:
Have you not heard of the Forcados?

You people can go & dredge the Atlantic Ocean & relocate there.

One thing is for a fact, not one sq meter of Nigeria’s territory will exodus with you.
