While coming back on Friday, we met the policemen on the road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey asked for my vehicle particulars, and driving licence and I said I was processing the licence. They asked me to bring what I have, and I gave it to them. They claimed it was not legit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuddenly, I saw one of them flipping through my phone; he picked it up from where I kept it inside the car. I asked if that was not my phone and they started laughing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told them that they had no right to take my phone, and that even though they needed it, they should have asked me to give it to them. They said I was rude.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day, he found a screenshot on my phone, perhaps I sent or received a screenshot or I kept it on the phone from my Binance app. They asked what I was doing with a Binance account. I was called a Yahoo boy because of the screenshot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey asked if I was unaware that Crypto had been banned in Nigeria. I told them I didn\u2019t know and I was not based in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was threatened that I would be handed over to the EFCC. My dad was already scared. He was trying to talk to them. So, they demanded N50,000, which I refused to give them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey started saying I was going to their office and that they were not collecting any money again. I didn\u2019t reply to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom there, they started driving us from one place to another. They later asked how much I had on my app. I replied that I had some people\u2019s funds and my school fees. They said I should give them $2,000 as a bribe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne with white beards said I should pay $500. Since we were tired and needed to get to Abeokuta on time, I offered them $100, but they said no and I said the highest I could give was $200. I told them if I were home already, my friend would have changed it into Euros for me to pay my school fees on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey made a call and asked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/04\/04\/efcc-seizes-ascsn-officials-passports-over-alleged-financial-fraud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EFCC<\/a> to bring a profiling form. I was unmoved. But I finally gave them $504 minus $1 for charges. They called someone for his wallet address. I scanned the barcode from my Binance app and made the payment. One good thing is that my brother managed to take a picture of their vehicle number plate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he suffered injuries during the encounter, he said, \u201cThey hit my brother. Although I was injured when they asked me to enter the van, one of them used the car door to hit me on the knee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Osun State police spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, said the command had commenced investigation into the incident.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cWe will inform you when we are done with our investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Cyprus-based Nigerian, Ifeoluwa Lawal, has accused men of the Nigeria Police Force, Osun State Police Command, of extortion.
