An Oyo State resident, Emiola Solomon, has narrated how policemen attached to the Oyo State, Iyaganku State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) of the Nigeria Police Force extorted the sum of N130,000 from him and his guardian. Solomon told SaharaReporters that the extortion happened on Friday after they were detained on Thursday when they reported at the station to honour an invitation from the police after two lawyers simply identified as Azubuike and Onipedun accused him of threatening their lives.
He said while the students tried to engage the driver, one of the soldiers “who wore a bulletproof vest over his uniform decided to cock his gun and pointed it at us.”
Armed robbers had on Thursday waylaid the van, killing a yet-to-be ascertained number of people.
The group said the Oyo State government and its Department of Public Prosecution which it called DPP are trying to pervert justice.
