Read her narration below:

I was on my way to market driving along marina when a lastma vehicle overtook my vehicle and stopped in my front and told me I committed an offence. I asked which offense and they asked me to show my drivers license, which I did and the officer went with it. In my bid to get it back officer ODUNSANYA.A entered my vehicle and started driving it. I quickly jumped in and asked where he was driving my car to.

I tried settling the matter with them and ask him to tell me my offense but he came up with nothing and still had me settle them with 20k .

After they left I got to a car park and I found out the #170k (one hundred and seventy thousand Naira) I had in my vehicle has gone missing. Please the Wold should tell officer ODUNSANYA.A and his college to give me back my money.

I am saying this for the world to see the level of injustice and robbery we face from the hands of the same people that are suppose to be protecting our lives.
