Two siblings in Abuja have accused officers of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command of abducting and extorting N470,000 from them at gunpoint.  

The incident reportedly occurred on January 8, 2025, near the Kurudu area, shortly after the Army Estate. According to the victims, armed policemen in a gold-colored, fully-tinted Toyota Corolla intercepted their vehicle, forced them into the police car, and drove them around the city.  

The siblings alleged that the officers, who claimed to be from the Area 10/Zone 6 division, accused them of being internet fraudsters. Despite thoroughly searching their phones and finding nothing incriminating, the officers allegedly assaulted them and demanded money.  

“They asked us to get out of our car and forced us into theirs. They checked our phones and found nothing, yet they started beating us,” one of the victims told *SaharaReporters*. “They said we were fraudsters and demanded that we transfer all the money in our accounts to an OPAY account, **6114428320**, registered to Sani Musa Enterprises.”  

The siblings claim they were dropped under the Zone 2 Bridge after making the transfer. The officers reportedly removed their badges to conceal their identities during the incident.  

“They told us they were from Area 10/Zone 6 division but made every effort to remain unidentifiable,” the victim added.  

The brothers have called on human rights organizations and police authorities to intervene and ensure justice is served. The alleged incident adds to concerns over police misconduct and extortion in the country.  

Efforts to obtain a response from the FCT Police Command were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.
