| I Have Gotten Back The 80,000 Naira The Police Extorted From Me Illegally by Iceking1(op): 6:46pm On Jul 06, 2025 |
Hello Nairalanders, about 4 day's ago I created a thread, regarding the extortion of 80,000 naira from me illegally by the police, even when my papers are 100% correct as I did a new plate number after buying the car, so everything regarding the papers are on my name, and all Intact. For those who missed the thread, here's the link : https://www.nairaland.com/8466150/police-took-80000-me-yesterday After creating the thread, It immediately got to the front page and It generated reactions, almost every one (99.9%) of those that commented were against the police because what transpired was truly an extortion. I got countless numbers of positive advices. Including going on twitter and tag some important personnel on the police force, while trying to do so by opening the profile that I went through, I saw some police numbers on one of the posts by the police, there was a post to call some numbers when one get harassed by the police unnecessarily. I copied the numbers and gave It a call, they were 5 numbers, and only the very first one I called was what sorted out my predicament. I called the number and narrated everything to the man that picked up ( Detective Barnabas from CRU) THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH SIR. So, he asked me the location where It happened and the time, he asked me to forward the screenshot of the transaction regarding I and the POS girl I made the transferred to, In which the POS girl stand was directly at the back of the station, and I did forwarded It to his whatsapp. He acted so very swiftly, he swinged Into action with immediate effect, I called him yesterday and I got my complete money back today. After telling him the area It happened and exact location, also the station they took my car to. He called the area commander with immediate effect, and the area commander swinged into action immediately. I was called to come to the station this afternoon to identify the men involved, but unfortunately they weren't around. I went home hoping to go tomorrow as told, to come and identify them. But to my utmost surprise, the police in charge of the case called me barely an hour ago that they've recovered back my money, he gave me cash, 80,000 completely. I want to use this medium to thank Nairaland and Nairalanders, you made this possible, I would not have gotten anything from that money if not for you all, coupled with the fact that I would also get more future harrassments. Below are photos of the cash I was refunded, in full. Thank you Nairaland and Nairalanders, you've done what no one else have done for me, In all my life and day to day existence, thank you so very much. I greatly appreciate. Thank you 🙏

That's the power of social media. Moreover the police CRU is very active when you have an injustice case against the police just reach out to them. They are more on the civilian side of the issues. |

Hisroyalbadmeat:A friend told me to be careful and observant, that they might plan to set me up soon, due to what transpired today. I'm scared but nevertheless, I just have to be observant, most especially whenever they're searching my car. |

Like I said in the previous thread, get dash cam for your car or spy glass to build your confidence. Police mouthing road block don't extort anyhow anymore they'll rather ask any thing for us without checking your papers if they see you're confident. ![]() |

Now I'm satisfied ![]() And forget about police having a thing for you because you got your money back. Believe me, they don't have time. It's just bad business for them... Another guy will pay or has already paid and he will not update Nairaland or Twitter. If you know how much those guys make in a day, you will not believe... Have you seen when a police guy order for food beside you? my guy, just forget.Happy weekend... |

Pluto33:These are the numbers I called below, I went to the X handle of the Delta state police complaint response unit, because everything happened In Delta. So these numbers are for those that has issues with the police, and In Delta state precisely. You can get the numbers of other states too, maybe if you are in Ondo state, all you need to do Is go on X and search for the key word "Ondo state police NG, complaint response unit" and you would see their page and emergency numbers to call. Nevertheless, for those in Delta state, these are the numbers that I called. 09155570008 09011112311 09064308018 09066575187 |

That's good to hear. The police force is improving on its image and public perception. Also, be confident around police officer without being offensive or combative. Worst case is to take you to station whereas they have to explain to a superior why you were arrested or detained and the superior has more to lose if things turn south. |
| Re: I Have Gotten Back The 80,000 Naira The Police Extorted From Me Illegally by ravensckar(m): 8:10am On Jul 07, 2025 |
Glad to hear that you retrieved your money. Most officers of the Nigerian Police Force are worse than criminals and I think the corrupt system is still protecting them. Those officers who extort ed you should have been disciplined (if not dismissed). Not punishing them will give room for future corrupt action like this. It's not like they won't repeat this action in future, they sure will. However, they will devise an ingenious way to not leave any paper trail behind. You gan self, whenever you're dealing with the Police, always be on high alert lest you'll become their MUGU. You can't be a "gentleman" when dealing with Nigerian Police, you'll pay through your nose. ![]() |

Hi Seun, I think you need to reconsider the 40 character limit because it's clear engagement has fallen low, and this could be the chief reason why. This is a forum, not a social media site. |

Good for you. Don't be a p**sy next time. Stand your ground and resist any attempt to take away your hard earned money fraudulently. The police nowadays are just like every other criminal. Know this and deal with them accordingly. |
