A Nigerian lawyer who survived a “one-chance’ robbery incident claims the police officer she reported to told her he knew where the criminals who stole her phone were, spoke to them and even asked her for mobilization fee.
Pleading with Benjamin Hundeyin, the Public Relations officer of Lagos State Police Command on twitter to help her.
This happened at Marwa in Lekki phase 1, and was reported at the maroko police station. I believe that the police can help, the officers I spoke to seemed competent and well versed.

She said in a tweet, “Yesterday I was robbed in a “one chance bus”, pushed out of the vehicle and my phone stolen. I reported at the police station and was asked to pay 50,000 naira to track my phone and afterwards pay a mobilization fee depending on the location where the phone is found. Please help.
“The police officer described the entire incident before I could even explain. He says he knows them and where they are from. He called one of them “Prince” and that they are from Mushin/Orile. These people are well known, yet I need to pay to mobilize the police to do their job.”
