A famous rapper in Nigeria, William Orioha, better known as 2Shotz, got a dose of what some Nigerians suffer in the hands of members of the Nigeria Police over the weekend when he was locked up at a police station in Lagos.
Aproko247 gathered the rapper was put behind bars at the police station in Eti Osa local council of Lagos State.
2Shotz ran to his social media page on Instagram to narrate his ordeal in the hands of the police officers, who he alleged were drunk.
“Hello everyone, with deep pain and anger, both for Nigerians and the Nigeria Police Force, which frankly speaking, is the most corrupt system in Nigeria. I was dragged to this sh*t hole (even after my identity was disclosed to them), harassed and detained with my car from 10pm till this morning, for just pulling out of a friends place yesterday.
“I pleaded with them, tried to understand what they were talking about till I was dragged to the police station where they put together a lie that I took one way, just to extort money from me.
“What pained me the most was how they were bringing in all sorts of innocent people and by morning, give them all a bill. I maintained being calm because the police officers were oozing of serious alcohol, and still drinking in the police station. So I remained calm for fear of being shot for just asking questions why I was being dragged there.
Now I have seen policemen from this particular police division harass innocent people and no one is doing something about it.
“If this post goes viral, I would like to use this medium to alert the Police Commissioner and Lagos State government to look into these policemen and police area division before it gets worse than it already is.
“People in that area are or have become scared of the terror and inhumane treatment from these policemen.
“Please dear future leaders, this is a post that should be taken seriously if you want our votes,” he narrated.
