Policemen torture family, collect N20,000 bribe

A geophysicist at a company in the Lekki area of Lagos, Mr. Sunday Alabi, says his younger brother, Tope, and brother-in-law, Wale, narrowly escaped being killed by some overzealous policemen attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the state police command.

He stated that the policemen, who arrested and tortured him and other victims on August 28, had raided their area, Atunise Street, Isheri-Olowora.
He said the policemen, numbered about six, shot sporadically into the air and threatened to gun them down.
Alabi added that they were later thrown into a cell in the command till the following day and were released after paying N20,000 bribe.
The geophysicist explained that trouble started around 8pm on the fateful Friday after he sent his brother-in-law to buy foodstuffs for the family’s breakfast the following day.
