According to him, he was profiled by the officers over his choice of hairstyle.
He was only allowed to go when he showed them his identification as a US police officer.
He wrote on Twitter that he has just spent 4 days in Nigeria but have already been seen as a criminal by our police force. It burgles his mind that police here in the country do their profiling based on looks.
