It’s 2019 and it seems the Nigeria Police Force is still scouring the streets looking for innocent men to beat up and extort.
A Twitter user, @Femi_Dapson, shared a thread alleging that, on his way to visit his father who was only just discharged from the hospital, he was apprehended by the police at Oju Ore
Busstop in Sango Otta.
The thread is a heartbreaking one, detailing not just his own story, but others also allegedly apprehended by the same officers, to be extorted.

We were about boarding bike to my house when a man not dressed in uniforme pulled up and dragged us by the belt. I was furious and I was like what's going on here? Immediately another officer dressed in @PoliceNG uniform came with a gun, cocked it and forced us to enter bus— N K J V (@Femi_Dapson) January 13, 2019
They forced me into writing a false statement stating that I was a yahoo boy, at first I hesitated but after receiving hot slaps I cooperated with them and wrote the statement as they were dictating, but I gave wrong information about my age, where I live, my email, etc pic.twitter.com/8BIooYILIc— N K J V (@Femi_Dapson) January 13, 2019
I have given them video proofs, names of the officers involved and even their pictures, if @PoliceNG is the credible organization they Claim to be, they are meant to act on that sango station with immediate effect and stop this disgusting behavior they pull on innocent citizens. https://t.co/zq5gXtKXek— N K J V (@Femi_Dapson) January 14, 2019
