A Lagos-based music producer, Casey Akajiaku, aka Qasebeatz, says some policemen attached to the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department Annex, Alagbon, Ikoyi, extorted him of the sum of N150,000.<\/p>\n
Speaking in an interview with PUNCH on Thursday, Akajiaku demanded a refund of the money extorted from him. <\/p>\n
He also wants the accused officers to be arrested and prosecuted.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not the first time this is happening to me, it happened once in 2020. I want a refund of my money. I demand justice,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The producer had taken to his Twitter page @qasebeatz, on Wednesday, to narrate his encounter with the policemen.<\/p>\n
The artiste noted that the policemen called him a Yahoo boy (Internet fraudster) and demanded he split his account balance with them.<\/p>\n
He wrote, \u201cOther police officers arrived in two cars, charging towards me, saying I was challenging a police officer. I disagreed then he began insulting me and reached for my phone immediately and asked me to open it, instructed four armed officers to get into my car and asked me to follow.<\/p>\n \u201cI asked \u2018for what\u2019? They accused me of fraud calling me a yahoo boy with no evidence to justify their accusations. They finally got me to the police station in Ikoyi and sent me behind the desk and threatened to lock me up.<\/p>\n \u201cThey asked me to give them half of what was in my account. In their own words, \u201850-50\u2019. I told them I needed the money and cannot give it. I\u2019m a music producer and I made this money legit. They said I was playing with my life so they put me back in the car.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the officers later said \u2018this boy has nothing on him\u2019 but let\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Akajiaku later disclosed that some of the officers were in mufti, while others wore uniform and were armed.<\/p>\n He added that the money requested by the officers was transferred into the account of a third party.<\/p>\n He said, \u201cI couldn\u2019t get any of their names because some of them were not on uniform. The ones who were uniformed, were armed.<\/p>\n \u201cImmediately 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.\u201d<\/p>\n It was gathered that N150,000 was transferred to one Aliyu Maryam Mayeloye.<\/p>\n The Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, is yet to react to the development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Lagos-based music producer, Casey Akajiaku, aka Qasebeatz, says some policemen attached to the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department Annex, Alagbon, Ikoyi, extorted him of the sum of N150,000.
