A Nigerian Twitter user, @princejalil11, has narrated how he made a police officer apologize to him after he assaulted and tried to imprison him falsely.
@princejalil11, A young Nigerian lawyer said he was driving when he was accosted by police officers who were in a white unregistered danfo bus. According to him, they told him to park as they wanted to search him, and he obliged.
He disclosed that after they went through his car documents and also found nothing from the search they conducted, they asked him to follow them to their station. On getting to the station they tried to “falsely imprison” him at their station by asking him to pay a gate fee before being allowed to go.
The layer noted that while he asked that the officers should let him go since he hadn’t committed any crime, a police officer came up to him and slapped him more than four times.
He said he turned and told the policeman that he will kneel down, get slapped and will apologize to him and it all happened.
Narrating the incident, he wrote,
“A white unregistered danfo bus blocked me as i was driving and three police men came out. they said i should park that they want to search me and i asked why me out of everyone driving? that upset them and they entered the car and told me to drive to the police station
On getting there , they searched my car and found nothing. they asked for my license and documents which i presented to them. this took over 30 minutes btw. i was already getting irritated and asked them what i’m still being held for
The policeman who brought me to the station told me i could go. on my way out another policeman stopped me and said i can’t leave without paying gatefee. i said what do you mean by gatefee? i’ve been searched and permitted to leave
He told me to go and look for the men who brought me (they had suddenly disappeared , i know it was a plan) i couldn’t see them and asked to leave and told him that him keeping me there against my will when i have committed no crime is false imprisonment.
Then more policemen came and told me i cannot leave. i kept trying to say my part then one of them came and started slapping me. guy slapped me more than 4 times. i then told him that today he will kneel down , get slapped and he will apologize to me. which all happened.”
He also shared a video of the police officer begging him after all he had ‘prophesied’ eventually happened.
