Police officers extort N30k from a young man after labeling him a yahoo boy in Enugu.
It was gathered that incident occurred on June 13, 2024 in Ogbede area of the state.
Narrating what transpired, the victim said: “The car I entered was stopped by the police. They told me & one other guy to come down, then asked the driver to go.
The one that was interrogating me said that I should say the truth, that he knows that I’m a yahoo boy & that me & him will come to an agreement. I told him that I won’t claim what I’m not. He said since I don’t want to say that I’m a yahoo boy, that they will take me to the station.
He called another policeman who told me to give them N30k. That if they carry me to the station, that I might spend up to N200k.
I told them I want to do transfer, they refused & they took me to POS stand, while the other guy was told to enter their vehicle. I told them that I’m not with my card. That they should give me one of my phones to do bank transfer to the POS.
