Description

A Twitter user simply identified as @LifeOfNapaul has accused some policemen of extorting N40,000 from him and three other persons in Rivers State.

Narrating his ordeal in a series of tweets on Sunday evening, the victim said he boarded a public vehicle to a destination in Port Harcourt when the policemen stopped the vehicle and started searching him and three other passengers for incriminating evidence.

Noting that the policemen found nothing incriminating, the victim said the policemen demanded N50,000 from them, adding that he alongside the other three victims parted with N10,000 each before they were allowed to continue the journey.

His post read, “I’m so tired and exhausted mentally because this has been occurring. The last time, I was taken to the police station, bundled like a criminal, because I use an iPhone.

“Today (Sunday), on my way to PH via public transport, in the middle of nowhere, we were told to park, I was searched, my WhatsApp chats were opened one by one, every app was searched and they found nothing.

“Bruh, in the middle of nowhere, these guys said they wouldn’t free us until we ‘serviced’ them, we were just four guys in the Sienna, the rest were women. They told the driver to leave us but I kept begging the driver to stay.”
