In what appears to be a registration of anger against the Nigerian Police Force, an Enugu-based man has come on social media to open can of worms on the encounter he had with a bribe-seeking SARS officer on Benin expressway.
The self-described tile dealer, who goes by the name @Cyryl90 on Twitter, narrated that he was confronted by police officer who accused him of internet fraud after seeing his bank alert. According to him, the officer, who belong to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the police force, went through his phone chats, messages and pictures before concluding on collecting a share of his money.

Cyryl90 said he was eventually forced to give the officer thirty one thousand naira from his hard earned money after he threatened to ”waste” him on the expressway.
He further added that the police officer initially demanded two hundred thousand naira and boastfully declared to have wasted innocent men in the course of his illegal extortion.
