“Few hours ago in Southern Kaduna, some police @PoliceNG men driving in an unmarked car, wanted to kidnap a young man. They stopped him, accused him of being a Yahoo boy just like that, then tried to force him into their unmarked Camry. The boy struggled for his life with them, he held his grounds with them for minutes struggling, to the surprise of onlookers. They tried to strangulate the young man, but he fought for his life.
“When their brutality became too much, someone asked if they want to kill him. Then from there, people started coming out to gather. They asked them his crime and why they want to strangle him to death. The crowd started growing in protest.
“The police officers hurriedly entered their unmarked car, because they knew they were on illegal duty. They left the young man and ran away from the scene, as the crowd chanted in anger. @Princemoye1 here is the vehicle plate number. (ABJ 89 PL) Bring these rogue officers to book. Use them to set example. They were caught on camera, p*nts down,” the post read.
