Good morning nairalander,
I'm here to give an account of how my friend was illegally assaulted and extorted of over an 100k naira by our indigenous legal robbers, SARS Operatives. My friend is not on nairaland hence the reason I'm giving his account of the scenerio.
It happened last month and we almost lost all hope until I came across a trend of how nairalanders helped a man here.

It was in Lagos, Ojuelegba bridge side precisely according to him. It happened earlier last month.
He was stopped by two of the officers on the road then they told him to enter their bus while holding gun.While he was in the bus, they searched his phone and when they searched his phone and didn't see anything complicating cuz my friend was never into any cyber crime or anything. They checked his transaction details and saw his balance was over an hundred thousand naira which doesn't belong to him though. They asked him where he got the money from then he explained that the money belongs to his mom as his other siblings uses his account to send money to his mom cuz he stays with his mom. They didn't agree with that and started assaulting him with different punches and blow to his face , they opened his mobile app, and forced him to transfer all the money(over 100k, I can't remember the exact figure now) to one Emmanuel Chidi account and then left him. I'll attach the transaction details here too.He's in debt now cuz he's only a student. I posted it on my Twitter page but I got no help despite tagging necessary authorities.

We already lost hope about the case until I came across that trend on nairaland.

Sir uboma
Sir Gabaleve, this is the trend sir pls help me push this Sir. The extortion of the police force is increasing daily!

go to the X-squad at your state capital, they're the branch of police specifically set up to deal with corrupt police officers. you can Google for their Abuja phone numbers on Twitter and contact them too. I would do the both if i am your friend.

I tagged them all, I got no response from any of them.

Okay sir, thank you.
I'll inform him about this and we'll work on it sir.

Na wa oh
Don’t stop tagging them and keep posting it on your TL too

Op please meet a lawyer or a family friend who knows a police officer. Also write to instablog and tundeednut. I hope you have video evidence too

cc: Litigator, you expert advice I needed here please.

Thank you.

Get a lawyer to write a strongly worded petition to the CP of Lagos, you can also file a Fundamental Human Right action against the police.

Join the owner of the account, IGP, C.P , AIG and O/C SARS and claim the money you lost and 10million naira damages against them jointly and severally. Once the person you sent the money to provides the names of the forcemen, join them in their personal capacity.

They have breached the provisions of the Public Officers Protection Act, it won't afford them cover.

The owner of the account will fish them out for you and you will get your money, cost of action, plus damages.

If you want to take it a step further, you can now institute a seperate civil action against them. Let them use their personal money to get a lawyer and start doing case. Shabi they want trouble? Give them real trouble us you can.

It shouldn't take long to see results of you and your lawyer know exactly what to do.

Until we take actions, things like this will never stop. Social media is never enough, so while you run to social media, also take actions to protect your Human Rights as enshrined in Chapter 4 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Imagine if your topic had been a Nigeria sues SARS officers for extortion. How does it sound like?

Shalom.

From ur story, u seem not to have an idea of the division and station of these officers, these will help the force easily track and get the DPO while ur friend's bit is to identify and testify, if he's ready

It's a good idea.
I can do this personally if left to me and I get a good lawyer but I don't think my friend wants to go through those processes. He just needed to get back his money only. Is there no other way to this sir?

Well! He should write a petition.

He didn't know the division of the officers sir.

Ojuelegba side

That's a big problem because they have to locate the DPO of the division.. Are u people sure the account name here is the one of the officers account name?

This is so thoughtful of you. May God give u d strength to keep showing assisting others in need.. That's what humanity is all about really

But for now the OP is not even responding anymore... I'd even prefer the victim himself opens an account and tell us what actually happened

You are reluctant to drop your contact details here or send it to him privately but you want him to drop his own.


You are really not serious about this.
