They immediately flared and started barking and asking who gave me the dollars and what did I do to get the dollars. I calmly explained to them that I work in a bank and I have a domiciliary account, last time I checked that wasn't a criminal offence.
They started harassing me that I will call my branch manager for them to confirm that i work where i said i worked. I told them that's not a problem that I will call him so they can have their confirmation. I was still dialing his number when one of them started pushing me
Around that he was going to slap me and mess me up in front of my wife. I got angry and told them I know my rights and they cant intimidate me, as far as I know I have not committed any criminal offence,but if they insist I will have to call my lawyer. That got them more enraged
They picked one of my brother in laws who just graduated and waiting for service and dragged him to their van. According to them he does not have an id card to identify himself therefore he is a suspect and they will take him to the station to investigate him and they will keep
Him as long as they like. They told my wife and her siblings to enter their van while the three of them should join me in my car to their station. I told them that will never happen, that my wife will never enter their van. After much argument one of them OBAZEE GABRIEL by name
Pushed me in the face and threatened me, I stood my ground and insisted. They collected my wife and Inlaws phones asking them not to video anything. They told me to bring my phone and I refused and told them they have no rights to touch my phone except they show me a warrant.
They finally gave in, my wife and two officers joined me in the car while they carried my inlaws and other boys they held earlier and we proceeded to the police station. On our way, they saw 2 boys in a keke napep and ordered the keke to stop. They dragged one of the boys into
Their van 4 no reason, they said he looked like a suspect, that's all, lol. We finally got to d Agbarho Divisional headquarters. I called my boss at the office to intimate him of the development, he said he was already on his way. Meanwhile the SARS guys were subtly telling my
Brother in law to bring like N150k to settle the matter. I immediately remembered the Robin Hood of the masses @segalink and the many testimonies I've read on this Twitter street since following him. Immediately twitted and DM him of the situation I was in and the police station
They took us to. Meanwhile we were travelling to the east for my lil sisters traditional marriage and we were way behind schedule and they've held us for more than 2 hours. The head of the sars team was dishing all form of threats and intimidation that he will deal with me, that
He is waiting for my lawyer or whoever I want to call, abusing and insulting me.These guys are really something, intimidating those they are supposed to protect. They gave me a paper to write my statement. I asked the officer what is my offence and why should I write a statement?
That one said I should just write what happened and why I was brought here. We were still talking when one of their top officers at the police station brought his phone and asked for the leader of the squad that brought to the station. All of a sudden there was panic amongst them
Who called the AIG, who called the AIG? They were asking everyone of us that were brought there, which of you called the AIG? I just smiled @segalink did it again, the man is true legend. The SARS team lead that was hitherto barking suddenly became calm like a duck. The AIG
Spoke with my brother inlaw on the phone apparently to know what transpired after which the phone was handed back to the SARS team lead. He went further away from earshot so we wont hear the reprimand he was getting. After taking the call, he walked slowly to where we were and
Ordered his men to let us go. Order from above,let them go was his exact words. We left without paying a dime. Imagine they were asking for 150k for nothing,but were bent on having their way through intimidation. God bless d AIG,God bless @segalink the impunity in d police force
Is something else,something urgent n drastic needs to be done about it as innocent citizens are suffering n being intimidated by these guys daily.Thank you @segalink my family appreciates you. Immediately we left the station they were amazed how someone could pull such a string
Thank you @segalink
