Policemen Who Kidnapped And Extorted Money From Fashion Designer Have Been Arrested

Men of the Nigerian police who extorted money from a fashion designer after kidnapping him have been arrested.

The Festac policemen accused of kidnapping and extorting a fashion designer for no reason and forced him to transfer money to them, have reportedly been arrested and the money refunded to their victim.

Joseph Ejiro took to Twitter two days ago to narrate a chilling encounter he allegedly had with policemen in Festac who picked him up for no reason, threatened to kill him and frame him with a crime, then forced him to transfer almost all the money in his account to them (read here).

Joseph shared his ordeal on Twitter and got justice after activists Segun Awosanya and Ruggedman took up his case.

Giving an update to his followers, he tweeted:
