His statement read: “Nigerian police is at it again @PoliceNG. This country is killing me… ₦455k gone just like that. I’m so pissed off. They framed me by slipping drugs into my pockets. God punish the whole Nigeria Police Force… una no go die well, y’all will suffer the consequences of your actions.”
He went on to reveal the exact location of the incident, stating, “It happened in Warri, along Sapele Road. Right now, I’m still shaken, pissed off, and depressed. I don’t wish any police officer well. I pray life becomes difficult for them, just as they’ve made mine.”
