A Nigerian man has shared a disturbing account on social media, alleging that the police released the individuals responsible for his brother’s death and later demanded a significant bribe to arrest the prime suspect.
The tragic events began when the man’s brother was killed by his close friends. Initially, two suspects were arrested, but the family later discovered that one of the police officers had secretly let them go without informing the family. When the case was reported again, the police promised to bring those responsible to justice, leading to further arrests.
However, the authorities told the family that the primary suspect was still evading capture and would require extra effort to locate. Despite providing detailed information about the suspect—his name, phone number, and social media accounts—the family was shocked when the police allegedly asked for ₦150,000 to help track him down.
The man expressed his disbelief at the situation, noting how the police appeared to have enough information about the suspect’s activities, including details about the house he was building. Despite this knowledge, the police seemed unable to act unless the family paid for the investigation to proceed.
Online reactions to the post were swift, with many condemning the police’s actions. Some commenters highlighted the widespread corruption within Nigeria’s police force, while others expressed sympathy for the grieving family.
As the story continues to unfold, the public is left questioning the integrity of the police and the state of justice in Nigeria.
