HELP!!! "Police Extorted N70,000 From Me Because I Have 2 Phones"- Nigerian Student Cries Out
Aug 12, 2020
 
    
 A Nigerian student has cried out over the injustice he suffered in the hands of policemen on his way to school.
The student identified as Nicholas Victor, a National Diploma 2 student of the Auchi Polytechnic, has accused some policemen attached to the Kogi State Police Command of extorting money from him because he owns two phones.
Victor said he was on his way to Auchi on August 4, 2020, to collect his National ID card when the policemen, who were at a checkpoint at the Okene area of Kogi State, stopped the driver of the bus he was traveling in.
He explained that the policemen ordered all the male passengers out of the bus and started checking their phones.
The 22-year-old noted that while all the other passengers paid various sums, the officers refused to release him despite offering them N4,200.
He said the officers insisted on a bigger sum because he had two phones, adding that his mother was forced to transfer N70,000 into the bank account of one of the officers, identified as John Eshiobugie.
