He alleged that the officers beat him severely, injuring his rib, confiscated his phones, and compelled him to unlock all his bank accounts, including his savings account. Iyo further claimed that he was accused of cybercrime and pressured to contact friends to raise the ₦6 million demanded by the officers.
“I try as much as possible to lead a good ‘legal’ life… so tell me why these police officers put me in handcuffs, beat me to the point where I could barely breathe… accused me of being into fraud and asked me to call my friends to send me money to complete the 6 million they asked for,” he wrote.
