A young man who just arrived Nigeria from China was arrested by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force around the Mile 2 axis of Lagos State on the claims that 'he was too fresh'.

Speaking to DailyNaija, the young man who preferred anonymity said he was both surprised and embarrassed when the officers rounded him up on his way to Trade Fair.

According to him, they conducted a search on him and subsequently took him to their station in FESTAC, probably to intimidate him and extort money from him.

He said: "I have always read about these things on tabloids but I never knew they were really real until they accosted me today. They searched me and even took me to their station probably hoping I would bribe them to release me, but I was not in a hurry so I was ready to get to the end of it with them.


"When they saw that I was not going to feel intimidated, they simply allowed me to walk free."

Recall that this is part of the ills that popular rapper, Falz detailed in his 'This is Nigeria' hit song which was recently banned by the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC on the grounds of 'vulgar lyrics'.

This is one of the several cases of police harassments that Nigerian youths go through on a daily basis.

Prior to this time, there have been several cases of assaults from SARS officials against young people across the country who are usually accused of being internet fraudsters popularly known as Yahoo boys.
