They called me a criminal for chatting with my friends on WhatsApp.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey threatened to shoot and lock me up! Next, they took me to their station, then forced me to admit to being a criminal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After subjecting the young man to trauma, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/04\/23\/pantami-hasnt-changed-contracted-islamic-tv-to-cover-fg-event-last-month-ozekhome\/\">police team<\/a> then asked him to write a statement and bail himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI transferred N100,000 to the POS vendor, and then paid N2,000 for charges\u201d, he told the public.<\/p>\n<p>One of them also threatened to deal with Oluwagbadura while he\u2019s in the cell and boasted nothing would happen.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Police Public Relations Officer in Lagos, SP Benjamin Hundeyin announced that the culprits were summoned to the headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe complainant positively identified them all. They have been handed over to the Provost department for appropriate disciplinary measures\u201d, the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n<p>But the blurred faces of the officers have got Nigerians talking; some accuse the police of covering the identity of bad eggs who should be exposed.<\/p>\n<p>Some reactions to Hundeyin post:<\/p>\n<p><strong>@becca4gold<\/strong>: They are criminals, show their faces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>@JerryPiticle<\/strong>: You don\u2019t need to blur their faces abeg.

Why na?<\/p>\n<p><strong>@sajbaba100<\/strong>: Why do we still call their offence extortion, it is armed robbery because they terrify and threaten you with their guns and force you to do what you will otherwise not do\u2026same as non-uniformed robbers.

Tomorrow, we go still see them for road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>@mj_esong<\/strong>: 1. Why are their faces covered since the NPF usually display faces of suspects; 2. Hope after disciplinary measures within the NPF, they\u2019ll be treated like the armed robbers that they are.<\/p>\n<p><strong>@PastorDJDaniels<\/strong>: Kindly repost their faces as ordinary citizens are openly paraded. You could do more by answering the popular voice of reason.<\/p>\n<p><strong>@oyinnex<\/strong>: I don\u2019t understand why their faces were blurred sha. One no even get name tag.

This is nonsense, stick to a standard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>@uBeRToKS<\/strong>: You expose the faces of suspects but cover the faces of confirmed offenders?
