Loading ...Less than a week after a Contortionist was forced to borrow and pay officers for committing no crime, another traveller have recounted his experience in the hands of these bad eggs that give the force a bad name.
The victim, Eze Victor said he was traveling with one of the transport companies before the police officers stopped them at Benin highway.
He said that after searching him and his phone and they did not see anything incriminating, they commandeered him to open his mobile banking app and forced him to transfer N150, 000 to an online platform account.
In a SOS sent via his twitter account @Ezevictorr, he said he was forced to make the transfer at gunpoint and called on Nigerians to help him recover his stolen money.
