A man on Friday gave details of how some lawless policemen from the Lagos State Police Command stopped him on Ketu Bridge when he was coming from the Murtala Muhammed Airport, and went ahead to extort him of the sum of N51,000.

The man gave the narratives of the incident while reporting the matter on the X platform of the Nigeria Police Force’s Complaint Response Unit (CRU).

In a swift reaction however, the CRU told him that his complaints had been forwarded to the appropriate authorities for necessary action, urging him to provide his contact details in order to investigate the matter.

The man, who gave his name as Abiodun Peter Opatola, disclosed in the message sent to the CRU that he ordered an InDrive ride while coming from the airport on Friday around 11:30 a.m. when the ride was stopped by some policemen at Ketu Bridge.

He added that asked where he was heading to and he replied that he was on his way to FUNAAB, Abeokuta and he was going to the motor park to take a vehicle going there, saying they asked him for proof.

He said while he was showing them the student portal of the school, one of the officers went behind and attempted to open his bag, but he had already locked it.

“When I confronted him and asked why he was opening my bag, he said he wanted to check its content,” the young man said.
According to him, the other police officer refused to return his phone and after some time, he alleged that they ordered him to enter their patrol vehicle and drove him to a Point of Sales (POS) outlet where he was forced to transfer the sum of N51,000, telling him he would be taken to ‘somewhere else’ if he refused to obey.
He added that before he was taken to the POS outlet, they had asked the InDrive driver to leave and because he did not know what fate awaited him, he decided to pay the money.
The man displayed the receipt of the transaction details regarding the money extorted from him and said the police authorities should look into the matter in order to get justice and have his money back
