The Nigeria Police Force has promised to launch an investigation into an alleged police extortion incident reported by an X user on Monday, 3rd of March 2025.
The X user, #TenmanNoble1, had reported that he was allegedly extorted by operatives of the Lagos State Police Command while on his way to catch his 7.30 am flight at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, and the State capital.
He revealed how he was tagged a ‘yahoo boy’ and detained after the officers allegedly checked the pad on his phone and found a love letter he had written to his girlfriend many years ago.
According to the victim, the said officers were only willing to release him after asking him to withdraw N260,000 from a nearby Point of Sale (POS) machine.
Reacting to the allegations, the Complaint and Response Unit (CRU) of the Nigeria Police Force disclosed that they were waiting for the victim to reply to a direct message they sent to him so as to help them commence investigations.
The Police CRU wrote:
“Dear #TenmanNoble1, kindly check your DM and provide required response so as to commence investigation, thank you.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
