“My crime, they said, is that I do not have an ID card as a freelancer. They searched my phone. They called me a criminal for chatting with my friends on WhatsApp. They threatened to shoot and lock me up!

“Next, they took me to their station, just few meters away, then forced me to admit to being a criminal. I refused. They then asked me to write a statement and at the end I signed papers to bail myself.

“I transferred 100k to the POS vendor, and then paid 2k naira for charges”, he said, showing screenshots of the money on POS. The POS operator was Kafayat Olaide Nurudeen

He gave names of the officers he could identify as  AbdulKareem Sulaiman and Ojo ozeigbe among the six men that stopped him.
