When was this and where? My name is Egena Sunday Ode. I am a journalist based in Abuja. Yes, I had a bitter encounter with some policemen on Friday, April 30, 2021, near the popular AYA roundabout in Abuja around 5.30pm. How did it happen? Around 3pm that day, I received a distress call from my cousin, Johnson Ubeh, that he was being held by some police personnel over an alleged contract that he failed to execute. The policemen had earlier pulled him out of his shop on the pretext that they were going to give him a contract. But when he went out to meet them, they changed the story to failure to deliver on a contractual agreement.
