- Scott Iguma, a prominent social media personality and activist, has accused the Nigerian Police of collaborating with the country’s justice system.
Social media personality and activist, Scott Iguma, has publicly criticized the Nigeria Police Force, accusing them of sabotaging the justice system rather than defending it.
His remarks come just days after he was released on ₦10 million bail, following his arrest and detention by a Lagos State High Court. Iguma’s arrest stemmed from his online allegations against PWAN, a real estate firm he accused of scamming customers.
In a video posted on Thursday, Iguma expressed gratitude to the public for standing by him throughout his ordeal. However, he also used the opportunity to reflect on what he described as a deeply disturbing experience with law enforcement.
“With my experience with the Nigeria Police, it’s quite so sad. What I can say with my experience with the police is that they are not loyal to the country Nigeria, they are not loyal to the law of Nigeria, to justice. All they are loyal to is money,“ he said.
Iguma didn’t mince words in his criticism, claiming the police are actively working against justice in Nigeria.
“With my experience, I can say that the Nigeria Police are currently the one fighting against justice. They are not fighting against injustice. The Nigerian police are so cheap that you can bribe them with a bottle of coke, and they will help you convict an innocent man for murder. With what I saw, and what they did to me, is so sad,” he adedd.
His comments have reignited discussions around police corruption, abuse of power, and the systemic issues plaguing Nigeria’s criminal justice system.
