Outrage as Teenagers Accuse Delta Police of Unlawful Arrest, Extortion

  • Two teenagers spending their holiday in Delta State claim they were unlawfully arrested by Anti-Cult officers, accused of cultism, and forced to pay ₦200,000 after being given a ₦1 million bail condition.

A 17-year-old boy has recounted a harrowing encounter with policemen attached to the Special Anti-Cult Unit in Delta State.

According to him, he and his 16-year-old brother were on holiday at their uncle’s residence when officers stormed the house and accused them of being cultists. Despite their denials, the teenagers were arrested and taken into custody.

The boy alleged that they were detained and given a bail condition of ₦1 million before the officers eventually collected ₦200,000 from them to secure their release.

The incident has since sparked outrage, with many Nigerians condemning the alleged misconduct and calling for accountability within the police force. Rights advocates have also urged authorities to investigate the matter and ensure justice for the teenagers.
