“Last month, I decided to travel to Ekiti. I got att@ck£d by the police. They arr£sted me for no reason at all. They said we should go to the station. I was wearing my camera glasses, my car camera was recording too, and I was also recording with my phone.
We got to the station. They took my eyeglasses from me. They told me, ‘Do you think Nigeria is America?’ They said they would show me the true colour of Nigeria. They said they would take all my properties. One of them said he would seize my car. He said he would take my phone, and that there’s nothing I would do about it.
They seized my phone and everything they saw in my car. I was carrying some little cash, not even up to ₦300,000, but they thought it was a big money, so they decided to k!dn@p me and l0ck me up.
I even thought they wanted to k!!l me when they took me out of the station. They didn’t take my statement, no statement at all. They just rushed me out of the police station.
I thought they wanted to k!!l me, but fortunately for me, they took me to a court environment. The police wanted to use the court to detain me. When they read my charges, first of all, they said I ass@ult£d a police officer. Meanwhile, I was wearing camera glasses that recorded everything that happened between us.
Secondly, they said I was in possession of a st0l£n vehicle. Just last year November, I renewed this vehicle in my name. All my papers are complete and intact. Everything is legit. Yet, these people alleged that I am a th!£f, a car th!£f.
The judge remanded me, and I have been in pr!s0n since then. I’m just coming out now. Luckily for me, we went to court today from pr!s0n, hoping to argue for bail. I was very surprised when the judge struck out the case because it was a very useless case.
The police used fr!vol0us charges to hang me somewhere, hoping to take over my properties just because of a car and few hundreds of thousands. They decided to k!dn@p me.
This is what Nigerian police are doing to our youths. This is what they have been doing for so long. I know I am not their first v!ct!m, but I will make sure I am their last v!ct!m..."
