Today, I experienced one of the most traumatic moments of my life.
I had gone to a friend’s place to lend him my MacBook charger because I stay in Ikorodu his charger had stopped working. After leaving his place and heading home, I was stopped by men who identified themselves as Nigerian police officers. They were not dressed in standard police uniforms, which made the situation even more frightening.
I was forcefully pushed into my car, accused of being a cultist without any evidence, and subjected to intimidation. My phone was searched, I was threatened, and I was repeatedly told that if I did not cooperate, I would be shot, killed, or have my car taken away.
They drove me around to different locations, including from Ikorodu to ketu under a bridge, while continuing to threaten me. Under fear for my life, I was forced to open my banking apps and make transfers. In total, about ₦700,000 was taken from my account through coercion. They wanted me to pay them 5 million which I don’t even have, They also forced me to call friends and demand money from them, insisting that I raise millions of naira despite having committed no crime.
This was not a voluntary transaction. Every action I took was because I genuinely feared for my life.
I am sharing this video because no Nigerian should have to experience this. No one should be threatened with weapons, intimidated, or forced to hand over their hard earned money by people who are supposed to protect them.
I am reporting this incident to the appropriate authorities and financial institutions, and I hope those responsible are identified and held accountable.
Please help me by sharing this until it reaches the right people. This has to stop.

It's so unfortunate that Abraham had forever lost his eye due to the reckless action of CSP Babayola, Dpo Bwari Division @FCT_PoliceNG Today marks 29 days after this incident, no action have been taken by the IG @PoliceNG@BenHundeyin@jossyadeh@PoliceNG_CRU as regards Justice.
A uni classmate of mine who was driving @UberNigeria to make a living got shot in the eye in Lagos two weeks ago by Armed Robbers, and he is currently struggling for his life.
Im sharing this here to raise awareness and funds for him, as the surgery cost is crazy expensive, and I would appreciate any donations to help save his life.
Insecurity in Lagos is at an all-time high, and @followlasg needs to do something about it so people can feel safe. Retweets Appreciate 🙏

@chronicUtdFan It’s a team, everybody should fight for their space. Onana in 45 mins has justified why he’s been benched all season long. You get a chance to play, prove why you have to start the next match, simple. Wdym belittle their efforts, other players no Dey put in effort?
