Lagos State Police Command, yesterday, said it was yet to receive a formal complaint or identity of the lady who alleged a N500,000 extortion by officers at Mile 2, in Kosofe Local Council of the state. In a video posted yesterday, the lady said she was in a cab when the police officers stopped and searched her, and found a pill in her bag. She said the officers accused her of prostitution. She, however, told them that she was not a prostitute, and hadn’t used the bag in a while.
She said: “They threatened to call my parents, saying when they find such an item with ladies, they often called their parents. I became nervous. “They ordered me to enter their bus. They had guns. They accused me of smoking and using abortion pills. They said they were going to take me to their station if I didn’t settle. They ended up taking the N500,000 that I had with me

The fact that the police released me on the spot because I identified myself as a journalist doesn’t mean I won’t tell the story of an incident I witnessed and almost became a victim. The police can wield its power and pervert justice on voiceless citizens. But it’s the 21st century and a digital world. You can’t manipulate the truth, even if you end up destroying the lives of those young men. Dear readers, I’m but a storyteller. Please, allow me tell you a short story
