'How Police Collected My 20,000 Later Pushed Me Into Moving Van, Lady Explains

A young lady has accused the Nigerian policemen of abducting her from the ATM, stealing from her and pushing her out of the moving van.

She was sharing the story with a Twitter user who had defied all odds to go to her rescue as she laid down on the ground struggling to regain herself. The allegations against the police were coming even as there is a national outcry calling for an end in police brutality.

The incident involving the young lady was reported to have happened in Abuja, Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory and seat of power. According to the lady who was found sitting on the ground and crying, some men had pushed her out of a moving vehicle after robbing her of her hard earned money.

She said that the men whom she believed to be officers of the Nigerian police had picked her up in a police van while she was withdrawing money from the ATM in one of the banks in Abuja.

She continued that the men drove off with her and took the N20,000 that she had withdrawn from the ATM. After robbing her of the money and other valuables including her phone, they pushed her out of the moving vehicle and she landed on the gutter. She had to crawl out of it and call for help.

According to the Twitter user and good Samaritan with the username @Uncle2Triplets who helped pick up the lady from the gutter "#AbujaTwitterCommunity police just extorted one of us now. They met her at the atm point in life camp, Abuja. Took all her money, put her in their van took her around and pushed her from their vehicle. I am going 2 pick her up now.

The incident is coming hours after the Nigerian police announced that they were putting an end to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad unit of the Nigeria police force, according to the yearnings of Protesters who had besieged the country for some days now.
