The Nigerian police are facing public backlash after a report of servicemen allegedly forcing 50 Imo youths at a checkpoint to transfer money at gu@point to a designated POS account emerged.
According to eyewitnesses, the @rmed officers targeted the youths, demanding immediate fund transfers. The victims, fearful for their lives, complied with the demands, leading to public discussion across the Aboh Mbaise community.
Furthermore, local residents have voiced their frustration, urging traditional rulers and community leaders to address the ab@se of power and human rights.
Eyewitnesses confirm that the incident has also led many youths to avoid the checkpoint altogether, forcing them to travel at night, a decision that exposes them to greater risks, including r@bbery and kidn@pping.
Stanley, an eyewitness and concerned resident, has called on the Imo State Police Command to act immediately and bring justice to the community.
“This is not the first time such incidents have been reported. We need immediate and decisive action to restore trust in our security agencies,” he stated.
This incident has ignited reactions across Nigeria as many accused the federal agency of not being professional but political in their dealings.
