A Nigerian lawyer has accused some police officers stationed along the Lagos airport route of allegedly extorting ₦3.1 million from his client.
In a video shared online, the lawyer called on the Lagos State Commissioner of Police and the Inspector General of Police to investigate officers allegedly targeting Nigerians travelling to and from the airport.
According to him, his client was stopped by officers who demanded to see his flight ticket before searching his phone.
He alleged that rather than conducting the search at the roadside, the officers took his client to a police facility on Alhaji Aziz Street, Shogunle, Ikeja, where they threatened him, forced him to make statements against himself and collected ₦3.1 million under duress.
The lawyer further claimed that the officers used POS agents and third-party accounts to receive payments instead of their personal bank accounts.
He disclosed that a formal petition would be submitted and warned POS agents allegedly assisting the officers that they would also be investigated.
He also advised Nigerians travelling through airports to remain vigilant and avoid making statements in police custody without their lawyers present.
