@segalink @RuggedyBaba i know I’m not an influencer but i really hope this gets the needed attention. My brother and I were stopped yesterday 6, aug 2020, at interchange round about while we were taking our mum to a hospital in abeokuta by members of the

@PoliceNG

Who had Eleweran SCIID written on their shirt. They profiled us as Yahoo boys and forcibly took our phones from us, after about 30mins of going through our phones and finding nothing, they asked who owns the car we were driving, and we told them it belongs to my sister

Who allowed us take the car out because we were taking my mum to the hospital, after about an hour of interogation, they got into our car and drove us to a place in Siun where they stopped and demanded for 500k. Which we insisted that we can’t pay because we have don nothing

Wrong. Out of anger and perceiving us as being stubborn and not willing to comply, they drove us to a police station in Owode Egba round about opposite Oando filling station where they threatened to lock us up and said we would pay more if we spend a night in their cell

They went through the phones again saying its not possible for us to have nothing on us. This time they found an alart on my brother’s phone with an available balance of 1.2m the angry officer asked how my brother got that amount of money in his account which my brother

Explained that he is a forex trader and he even showed the officer his trades and charts. We realised it was getting serious and out of hand because the officers looked desperate and willing to do anything to us. So we decided to negotiate with them and they said

They are not taking less than 300k from us because of the stress we have put them through. We agreed to pay the money just to gain our freedom back because my mum was scared to death and worried also. They refused a transfer because they said it is traceable,

So they directed us to a POS close to the police station to make the withdrawal. After collecting the money they now asked us to make a 1min video saying we are yahoo boys and admiting that no money was taken from us(we did it because my mum was worried and these men

Don cock gun like 1m times) they have over 60 similar videos of different victims on their phones. They were very careful not to mention their names, they go by different code names. I could remember ERU, TIGER and AGBARA

300k is a whole lot to lose at a time like this. I would really appreciate if something can be done to get the money back. We have proof of the debit alert and the location the withdrawal was made
