A concerned Nigerian, who identifies himself as @Danbabanaija, has narrated how some policemen allegedly dehumanised him alongside his brother, after they were arrested on Binin-Ore Road on Saturday.
According to him, they were extorted, to the point of being forced to withdraw money at POS.
He tweeted on Monday (sic):
“Dear @PoliceNG i left Lagos for Benue State, on Saturday 25/7/2020. aloside my consin we were stopped by some of the members of the Nigeria police force, after so many check points and they asked us to pay the sum of 150,000 for notjust reason, we were forced to a POS
