A popular social media relationship coach, Solomon Buchi has claimed that he was abducted, assaulted with his younger brother by men of the Abuja police command who also stole the sum 500,000 thousand naira from his account through POS.
Narrating his ordeal, Buchi took to his Twitter handle to tell the full story.
He wrote, “I and my kid brother were kidnapped by the Police in Abuja around Wuse 2 couple hours ago, after eating. They swiftly double-crossed our bolt ride, brought out guns and asked us to follow them into their car which wasn’t a police vehicle.
“On getting in, they asked where we’re from, I, stated that we’re Igbos from Imo State, they immediately said that we’re members of IPOB, they squeezed us into their car, they were five policemen!
“Long story short, they took our ATMs and withdrew 500,000 Naira out of 617000 that I had in my account. They withdrew my kid brother’s 50K. I begged them that it was my upkeep money for my stay but they went physical on me, slapped me, and asked me to use the 117K for myself.
“By the way, they stopped at a junction, and one took off his police uniform and went to withdraw the money using a POS! They also wanted to transfer our crypto. Man, I can’t even talk. I’m traumatized. After everything, they drove us back to town (Utako where I stay…)
“They looked for a dark place, unlocked the handcuffs and gave us our phones and cards. They took my new AirPods and valuables. Phew. This wasn’t the plan at all. I felt so invaded and highly abused.”
Recall that in October 2020, Nigerian youths held a nationwide protest demanding an end to police extortion, profiling and brutality. An exercise that resulted in the massacre of unarmed Nigerian youths whose only crime was their demand for justice.
