Some power-drunk mobile policemen attached to the Police Special Fraud Unit in Lagos State on Wednesday seized the telephone and identity card of a reporter with The PUNCH Newspaper, Toni Ufoh.
Recounting his experience, the reporter said, “About three policemen, one in camouflage and the others in mufti, approached me as I was speaking to one of the victims of the fraud at the SFU office gate. They asked to see what was in my phone and I explained to them that I was a journalist and I came to interview some of the victims of the housing scam. They demanded to see my identity card, which I promptly showed them. Immediately, they seized it and took me to their security post.
“Despite appeals made to the officers by the fraud victims, some of whom informed them that I was a journalist who only came to interview them, they failed to return my phone and identity card after waiting for several hours. The policemen took me to their office and threatened to lock me up with criminals who would deal with me severely.”Head, Samson Folarin, who spoke to one of the officers on the telephone, urged him to release the items as the reporter was only doing his job.
