A 21-year-old man has been allegedly shot by a police officer after he refused to give them N200,000 they demanded from him.
Social media activist, Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan (VDM), disclosed this in a video on his official Facebook page on Sunday.
The activist said the incident occurred in Kubwa, Bwari Area Council of the FCT, Abuja.
The victim is currently receiving treatment in the hospital.
“21-year-old boy shot by the police yesterday in Kubwa, Abuja because they requested 200k and he didn’t have to give them,” VeryDarkMan posted along with the video of the incident.
“Are we going to be running away from thieves, armed robbers and kidnappers, and still be running away from Nigeria Police that are supposed to be protecting us?
“This thing is getting crazier by the day. Just look at this young boy on my screen that was allegedly shot yesterday. This boy said they met him and next thing, they were asking him to bring N200,000.”
Meanwhile, the VeryDarkMan called on the police authorities to thoroughly investigate the matter.
