Your story sounds strange.
The size, shape and weight of a bag with shoes and usb will be different from one containing just an android phone.
How did the mix up happen?
Seems strange that a police man would put his phone inside a bag instead of in his pocket.

Assuming this story is true, how are sure it was him calling? Did you answer?

What if he had extorted and confiscated someone else’s phone?

Your story is strange.

Lol... I'll advise you return the phone by giving a report to another police station because you're already in trouble! Police can lie on your head and since he can call the phone, you can be tracked very easily. To me, i think that the officer is up to something and puting that phone in your bag was intentional. Return the phone to the police station and narrate the whole truth or be the victim. Try as much as possible not to let the phone remain with you for more than 48 hours. Or you may enter a case that will be difficult to defend in court if the phone stays with you longer.

Good day Nairalanders, I need your advice.
I had an encounter with a police officer yesterday along Ibadan-Abeokuta road. I will keep it brief and concise.

I boarded a bus from Ibadan to Abeokuta yesterday afternoon. Somewhere around Odeda, our bus was stopped at a police check point. I was apprehended by the officer who asked me to unlock my phone for him. I did as instructed and next he called me a cyber criminal without any evidence to proof. He immediately demanded I paid him 500k or I will be arrested and detained. I told him I can give him only 5k because I had a very important thing to do and I wouldn't want him to waste any of my precious time. The officer agreed and eventually I gave him cash of 3k because he didn't accept transfer for obvious reasons.

Before he searched my phone, he seized my bag and a nylon containing my shoes and my iPhone usb cord.

I unfortunately missed my bus because of delay, so I needed to board another bus immediately, so the officer helped me to stop a bus. He then handed me my bag and nylon. I was so pissed off and tried to cool off my head with a short nap. On getting to Abeokuta, I checked if the contents of my bag and nylon was intact but to my greatest surprise, I found a big android phone belonging to the police officer inside the nylon instead of my shoe and usb. He had unfortunately giving me a wrong nylon containing his own phone.

I have the phone with me now and I'm sincerely not willing to give it back. He has been calling and I don't know if I should change my mind.

What should I do guys? I'm confused.

I will advice you don't put yourself in further encounter with the police man my bro, just wipe the phone and start using it shikena

Use the phone to download like 60 loan apps with his details.
Take loans from all the apps....

Burn the phone and leave the rest for the Chinese loan shark companies....

My guy...just play him with big revenge. When he calls you tell him that you will return his phone that you know he will track the phone if you no return ham, let him know that you dey fear of tracking phone so that he will rest assured that you will return it. Then tell him to transfer 5k to a POS agent, that your 3k he collected and the 2k for waybill to send it trough driver. When he send the 5k call him back and tell him that not even In this word that can get that phone back, then find a good sledge hammer to break everything into pieces even to panel... And if he no send the 5k, you go still brake the phone... Because returning the phone might put you into serious problem because he knows he did bad thing to extort money from you and other police will always back him up, no matter wat you say,. Remember what you people did in time of end sars �

Those cops are bastards. Please don't return the phone. It's an Android phone, once you flash it and erase the information, it can't never be tracked. He used 3k to give away his phone.
Even iphone 13 wey we pay 40k for to track, the police couldn't track it, not to talk of useless android.

Just dump his sim into the nearest river or dusbin.

If you try and return it, he can rope you and arrest you. Person wey wan extort you for nothing before. He would now have all the power to arrest you if you dare return that phone.

He probably siezed it from an innocent who couldn't pay his bail on something the innocent didn't do.

Then, sell the phone off or you can start using it. You are safe.

By the way, check if he has a Facebook page, I'll dm you now. I need his Facebook name/details/contact information and where he stays.
Most of those bagas put that on their Facebook page.

Most of the people that are telling you to return it haven't been extorted by the police before, they don't know what it's like to be accused and robbed for something you didn't do.

How are you sure he did not do it intentionally to put you in trouble? If you return it directly, you may be arrested. Instead tell him to send you stuff via post and send his via post or drop it somewhere and ask him to go pick it.

If u return the phone The officer will said
u steal the phone they can lock u up. but u can return it
Send him a text message asking him where you can return his misplaced phone. This will serve as an evidence in case if he twist the storyline. Return it asap so that they don't track the phone with you and qxcise you of stealing.

Looking at this issue objectively,
I think you are also at a disadvantaged here. Because your property is also with the policeman. Not just a random property but your shoes. With that in his possession, he can take it to a good herbalist location and deal with you too.

It's all up to you bro. What are you going to do?

You need wisdom in dealing with this one so that you won't regret it. Those boys can do and undo . Bro don't land yourself in avoidable trouble.
1. The moment he called you , you may likely be at home or in the location you were going to. There is likelihood of frame up and subsequently been detained for being in possession of someone's else's property. The truth is that he will land you in jail. Get yourself aquinted with penal code crimes that may land you into jail.

2. Tell him you're are far of now and give him his phone by proxy and not directly otherwise ......

3. Tell him you want to come to his office with your uncle who is a senior police officer.

4 As it stands now you have no evidence against him that he collected money from you. Don't go and say what you cannot defend cos it means more trouble.

5. Better still go and give the phone to a court clerk to save it and tell the officer to go and collect it there.

Avoid a man that almost framed you up as a yahoo boy and also allegedly collected 3k from you only to loose something more valuable.

Next time don't let him call the number before you throw the phone away into the bush.
