The Bolt driver who mentioned that he picked up his passengers, two young men from Landmark beach and was taking them to Lekki phase one, said they encountered the police officers at the Lekki phase one entrance, where they pulled them over to search him and his client.
He added that after the search, nothing incriminating was found on any of them then the police officers requested that his passengers provided a means of identification and when they couldn’t provide one the police officers asked his passengers to join them in their own vehicle, an unbranded sienna.
The Bolt driver however followed the police vehicle to know where his passengers where being taken and made videos while on the move.
The police officers stopped at Onikan, Nigeria police zone command 2 where they extorted a sum of twenty five thousand naira from the young men using a POS machine.
Other people that have been victims of the incident have began to speak out online, majority of them identified the bank account number as the same one they sent money to when they were extorted by the police.
Reacting to this, the Superintendent of police Benjamin Hundeyin commended the netizen who shared the video on X (Twitter) and advices that he reached out to the zonal PPRO attaching her phone number stating that this is not under the Lagos police.
