the car.
“One of the officers later said ‘this boy has nothing on him’ but let’s just take the money and let him go. So, he requested 200K and I told him it was my rent money so he later settled for 150,000. Prior to this, I had hidden my ATM cards under the carpet and told him I have no ATM cards.”
Akajiaku later told our correspondent that some of the officers were in mufti, while others wore uniform and were armed.
He added that the money requested by the officers was transferred into the account of a third party.
He said, “I couldn’t get any of their names because some of them were not on uniform. The ones who were uniformed, were armed.
“Immediately I transferred the money to them, they gave me my car key and phone. They asked me to transfer the money to someone else. One of them had called someone and asked for the account details. When he sent it, they called the person again for confirmation before they let me go.”
Our correspondent saw bank alerts and receipts of the transaction made between the victim and the officers.
The N150,000 was transferred to one Aliyu Maryam Mayeloye.
Calls and text messages to the Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, were not replied to as of the time of filing this report.
