According to Hobnob News, the Nigeria Police Force, Ebonyi State Command, has been accused of torturing some students who just returned from Cyprus and Norway Universities and coerced them to confess to a crime they never committed.
Hobnob News learnt that the students namely; Nnaji Samuel Chidiebere, Obiedelu Chigozle, Ezeah Izuchukwu and their in-laws Omagba Solomon, were said to have arrived in the country from Cyprus and Norway respectively about late November 2022 with the aim of celebrating Christmas and New Year with their families and loved ones.
Also, the students alleged that police extorted the sum of N5.5million from them by forcing them to withdraw the money from their bank accounts after framing them that they hacked into the Facebook account and phone number of the Vice Chancellor of Alex Ekwueme University, Abakaliki, Ebonyi.
The students were arrested on Saturday, December 3, at the GRA Trans Ekulu, Enugu State, in a commando style when a team of armed policemen stormed the area and started shooting sporadically into the air causing panic and confusion in the area, Hobnob News was told.
Hobnob News gathered that a team of policemen from Ebonyi State went to Enugu to carry out the illegal operation without making entry of arrival at any nearest police station.
