GiftedHands_OFR, a user on X (formerly Twitter), has recounted how officers of the Special Tactical Team from the Ijegun Police Station unjustly arrested two of his friends and a dispatch rider at a restaurant located at the Iyana-School bus stop on Saturday.
In a post on Sunday, the X user said that one of the detained individuals was serving a customer in the restaurant, another was a patron and the dispatch rider, innocently listening to music with earphones, awaited his next delivery order beside the establishment.
Upon the arrival of the police, the individuals playing pool behind the restaurant hastily dispersed for reasons unknown, but rather than addressing the reason they showed up for, the officers arrested the customer and the dispatch rider.
“As they were about whisking them away, one of my friends protested against the police taking them away, and he was taken with them. We couldn’t reach them for hours, and we visited every police station in the vicinity only for them to later pick up our calls around 9:00 pm to tell us that they were at the Ijegun Police Station,” the GiftedHands_OFR tweet reads in part.
After GiftedHands_OFR had communicated with his detained friends, he and some concerned friends rushed to the Ijegun Police Station, where they confirmed the arrest of two of their friends.
