The Surulere Police Division, Lagos
State, on Tuesday arrested four men, who were accused of eating late in
the night around the Ojuelegba Bridge in the Surulere area.
Our correspondent learnt that the
suspects – one of them identified as Sango Svengali – were eating
noodles at a shop on Ogunlana Drive around 11pm, when the policemen,
said to be about eight, rounded them up.
The policemen, who reportedly brought
three vans, were said to have accused the men of eating late and queried
why they did not eat in their houses.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the suspects were subsequently whisked away to the Area C Command, Surulere.
It was learnt that the policemen at the
counter allegedly demanded N15,000 ‘settlement’ from the men,
threatening that they would sleep in the cell overnight if they failed
to settle.
Our correspondent gathered that Svengali
and his friends, who were not made to write any statement, offered
N5,000 but the policemen refused.
