According to her, they were headed for Lagos mainland for a campaign when some officers stopped their car. One of the policemen sat in the passenger seat and made her go to the back.
Efforts at getting the officers to spell out their offences were abortive as the officer in front began checking the lady's bag for dru*gs and guns.

The policeman then ordered her uncle to drive to Ojo police station, saying that their 'commander' was driving behind them and would meet them there.
They gave the officers N3k
Her uncle made some calls to people who could help him out. At the station, one of the officers insisted that they see the DPO as he sang praises of how policemen in the country were better than their US counterparts.
They saw the DPO and were freed. Eventually, the US returnees gave the officers 'N3k for gala' and afterwards took selfies with them at the instance of one of the officers.
On why they were apprehended, Chef Riaa in the comment section explained:
"They said we couldn’t drive the patrol car. Even though it was a campaign car and we were on the way to a campaign. They insisted they enter our car."

Little girl says she wants to return to Finland because Nigerian police collect bribe
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a little girl had lamented over bribe-seeking Nigerian police officers and said she wants to return to Finland.
In a short video shared by @gossipmilltv, the kid said that she will miss her extended family members as she called out their names.
A woman behind the camera responded and said the little girl will also be missed. On why her family members are going back, she stated her mother has a stomach ache and Nigerian doctors are not good.
The kid went ahead to criticise the Nigerian police, saying members of the force like collecting bribes, unlike Finnish police officers.
