Anonymously, one of the victims who does not want his name mentioned narrates his experience why standing outside his gate by 8pm at night was dragged into the police bus who are just raiding people to their station without committing any crime.
The statement however disclosed that anyone who is been arrested during the raid is always bail with either ten thousand naira or eight thousand from per person.
Speaking further with another victim narrating his ordeal that the unlawful arrest comes from ikotun divisional police station, igando police station, Area M Command as well others in Alimosho area of Lagos Satate.
