.@BenHundeyin @PoliceNG Police officers are now operating like kidnappers and bandits arresting innocent people and demanding ransom. I was arrested last night around 11pm while trying to get food at Ibafo, before Mowe. The DCO immediately seized my phones and threw me into the back of their Sienna. At that moment, I was genuinely scared because I thought I had been kidnapped. When we got to the station, I pleaded to contact my family, but he refused and ordered that I be locked in a cell with criminals, insisting that I was a criminal. After he left, one of the female officers quietly told me I was in serious trouble and advised me to quickly use her phone to contact my parents, which I did. I spent the entire night in the cell, my first time ever, completely shaken. By morning around 8am, they brought us out and started calling out amounts like N200k, N100k, basically placing prices on our freedom. The DCO falsely accused me of smoking and doing drugs on the street, which is completely untrue. I felt helpless until my mum arrived and started questioning them about why I was arrested. The officer still insisted we had to pay money for my release. She contacted my dad, and although the DCO initially refused to speak to anyone, my dad reached out to a senior officer at Elewe Eran. That officer then called the DCO at Ibafo station and ordered my immediate release. At that point, the DCO changed his story, claiming he didn’t conduct any raid and that he just saw me doing drugs on the street when he was driving by which was a blatant lie. The officer warned him He was clearly upset that I had connections to a higher-ranking officer and shocked that I was able to contact my family despite being held without my phone. I suffered that night. I was handcuffed, and one of the officers even punched me in the mouth. It was a terrible experience, my first time ever being detained. I left and felt pity for those that have no way
