A popular relationship coach, Solomon Buchi has alleged that men of the Abuja police command abducted him and his younger brother, assaulted them and stole the sum of N500,000 from his account via POS and other valuables.
Recounting his ordeal, Buchi tweeted, “I and my kid brother were kidnapped by the Police in Abuja around Wuse 2 couple hours ago, after eating. They swiftly double-crossed our bolt ride, brought out guns and asked us to follow them into their car which wasn’t a police vehicle.
“On getting in, they asked where we’re from, I stated that were Igbos from Imo State, they immediately said that we’re members of IPOB, they squeezed us into their car, they were five policemen!
“Long story short, they took our ATMs and withdrew 500,000 Naira out of 617000 that I had in my account. They withdrew my kid brother’s 50K. I begged them that it was my upkeep money for my stay but they went physical on me, slapped me and asked me to use the 117K for myself.
“By the way, they stopped at a junction, and one took off his police uniform and went to withdraw the money using a POS! They also wanted to transfer our crypto.
Man, I can’t even talk. I’m traumatized. After everything, they drove us back to town (Utako where I stay…)
“They looked for a dark place, unlocked the handcuffs and gave us our phones and cards. They took my new AirPods and valuables. Phew. This wasn’t the plan at all.
“I felt so invaded and highly abused.”
In another twitter thread, Buchi said he is still traumatized knowing that his crime for being kidnapped by the Nigerian Police is for being an Igbo.
“My first crime for being kidnapped by the Nigerian police was being Igbo. Immediately they asked me if I’m Igbo, they said we want to divide the country and now that Nnamdi Kanu has escaped, that we are hanging around to break the country.
“I need to clarify a few things: they took our ATM cards and used a POS to withdraw, and they didn’t withdraw all the 500K at one POS center. All I could see was that it was a junction car from Abuja city. Also, the glasses were tinted and they ordered us to face down.
“A lot of people have gotten across to me, and the truth is: I am deeply tired. If it was a transfer, ATM withdrawal or I could recognize names, it’ll be easy, this was smoothly done. The only thing I have is the bolt driver’s details from whose car we got kidnapped.
“I also have a faint picture of the plate number of the car these police men drove; it’s a Toyota Matrix, I think, and the plate number looked like: BWR 127Q0. This is all I can remember. (sic)
