Public outcry on Wednesday greeted the alleged torture and extortion of a young man, Olumide Bakare by men of the Ogudu Division, Lagos State Police Command.
The Nation reports that Bakare’s experience is sadly, the fate that has befallen many young men in the state and country at large, who some unscrupulous cops usually brand fraudsters just to extort them. “After asking questions which I gave proper answers to, they saw one text in a group chat I’m in that read “gay men dey pay”. It was a discussion I was having with some friends about closet gay activities we‘d heard rumors about.
“After begging and everything, they agreed to collect N260,000. They didn’t colIect transfer, instead, they called someone to come, so I could send via Paga. Afterwards, they told me it’s better to do yahoo than to be gay, because according to them “yahoo go dey pay better.” Nigerians on social media demanded the arrest and prosecution of the culprits, noting that policemen at Ogudu were very notorious for extortion of innocent residents.
