According to Mr Nwanguma, the officers stopped a vehicle conveying passengers from Awka to Abuja, around Opi junction Nsukka. Upon conducting a search, they found a Lap top and two phones with the young man and decided to take them to the station to check the devices to ascertain that he's not a 'Yahoo boy'.
However, on their way they allegedly asked the young man to settle them along the way as he may pay more if they get to the station. They demanded 500k from him and later settled for 30K. They then took him to a bank where he withdrew the money and gave them.
Read Nwanguma below:
So, 3 police officers attached to Urban Patrol, Enugu Police Command last Friday stopped a Sienna Car conveying passengers from Awka to Abuja somewhere at Opi junction Nsukka.
In the course of conducting extortion-induced search, they saw a lap top and two phones with a youngman in the car and decided, against protests by the passengers, to take them to their station to check the youngman's laptop and phones to ascertain that he's not a 'Yahoo boy'.
On their way, they asked the youngman to settle them along the way as he may pay more if they get to the station. They demanded 500k from him. The youngman pleaded until they agreed to collect 30k to free him.
Meanwhile, after several hours of delay by the police officers, the other passengers left the youngman to continue their journey to Abuja.
The police officers eventually took the young man to a corner close to their station where they eventually agreed to collect the 30k ransom.
They then took him to a bank where he withdrew the money and gave them. He had to pay another transport fare to continue his journey.
