A man has accused a police officer in Ibadan of extorting N130,000 from him after accusing him of being a Yahoo boy.
The man said he was asked to alight from his vehicle by the officers who were at the Gurumaraji camp along the Ibadan expressway.
After providing the documents they asked for, the man revealed that the car belonged to a friend.
He said he was told to call his friend and he did.
After the police spoke with his friend, they asked him for his ID card and driver’s license and he presented both.
He said they then started going through his phone and accused him of being a Yahoo Boy.
“They started saying I’m a Yahoo boy and that if I’m not why will I be driving a big car (Toyota Venza), the victim said during an interview.
He further alleged that they got into the car and began driving him around while making threats.
They eventually asked him to pay N500,000 but he pleaded that he doesn’t have up to that amount in his account.
He said he eventually had to beg them to collect N130,000 out of the N140,000 he had in his account.
He claimed one of the officers named Festus Akele, eventually provided his account number and N130,000 was transferred to the officer.
