An interior designer, Dapo Oguntimehin, has lamented the alleged harassment and torture meted out to him by some policemen attached to the Amukoko Police Division, Lagos State.
Oguntimehin said he was returning home from work around 10.30pm on Friday when he was cornered at a bus stop by the policemen, who dragged him into their operational vehicle.
The victim claimed that he was locked up in a cell after getting “serous beating,” adding that he was released after N3,500 was paid for his bail.
The 33-year-old told PUNCH Metro that he was shocked when the policemen could not produce a bag he brought to the station, which he claimed contained Automated Teller Machine cards, business cards, cardigan and N35,000.
He said, “It all started around 10.30pm while I was waiting at Alafia bus stop on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway to catch a tricycle that will take me home.
