A man has raised concerns over public safety and alleged police misconduct after recounting his experience following a robbery incident in his neighbourhood.
The victim, who spoke anonymously, said his home was burgled, with laptops and mobile phones stolen.
He reported the case to the police, who, according to him, demanded money before taking his statement and requested that he name a suspect.
“As a Nigerian, I don’t feel safe living in this country. My house was robbed, and my laptop and phones were stolen. I reported the case to the police, but they collected money just to take my statement and even asked me to name a suspect. I mentioned my neighbour, and they went ahead to arrest him, then told him I was the one who accused him,” he said.
The victim further alleged that the situation escalated when he attempted to recover his stolen phone using tracking technology, but received no support from law enforcement officers.\
“I later tracked my phone and went back to the station, asking them to follow me to retrieve it, but they told me to ‘leave it to God.’ I had to go alone. When I got there, the robbers told me the police had already called them,” he added.
