Sunday, May 25, 2025 - A Nigerian man based in the United States has shared his experience with police officers during a visit to Nigeria, alleging harassment due to his appearance.
In a video posted online, he revealed he was stopped by
officers who searched his belongings and vehicle, allegedly because of his
dreadlocks. According to him, the officers insisted on taking him to the
station, despite finding nothing incriminating.
He claimed the situation escalated when he refused to pay a
bribe, noting that the officers appeared determined to waste his time and
pressure him into offering money.
The man said he contacted the U.S. embassy during the
encounter, after which he was eventually allowed to leave.
