A troubling incident emerged on social media platform X, highlighting police misconduct in Calabar. Allegations suggest that officers from the Anti-Cultism unit barged into a university student’s home, coercing him into confessing to dealing Indian hemp. They reportedly extorted ₦300,000 under duress, threatening severe repercussions if he refused or attempted to expose them.
Despite facing violent threats and detainment, the victim bravely reported the ordeal to the Uwanse Police Division. He remains frightened and is contemplating abandoning his education. The victim’s guardian urges the Nigeria Police Force’s Public Complaint Response Unit to ensure justice. Such cases demand swift action to preserve citizens’ trust in law enforcement.
Key Takeaways:

- Victim forced to pay ₦300,000; threatened with further violence.
- Call for the Nigeria Police Force to investigate and ensure accountability.
Highlighting these issues is crucial to prevent further abuses by law enforcement in regions like Calabar. How can communities work together to promote transparency and integrity in Nigeria’s, particularly Abuja and Lagos news, law enforcement agencies?
