Man Dies In Police Custody After Female Neighbor Allegedly Paid Officers To Discipline Him

 

A Nigerian man has reportedly died in police custody just three days after his female neighbor allegedly arranged for his arrest and paid officers to discipline him. 

The shocking claim emerged in a viral post on X (formerly Twitter), where the victim’s brother narrated the events leading to his death. 

According to the post, the man was taken from his home in Chevron, Lagos, by officers from the Ikota Police Post. He was allegedly detained for three days, subjected to torture, and later died while in custody. 

The victim’s brother further alleged that, instead of informing the family, the police secretly transported his corpse to the mortuary at Epe General Hospital. 

The Statement Reads: 

“My brother was arrested at his residence in Chevron by officers from the Ikota Police Post in Lagos. He was detained without committing any crime and later died in their custody.”

"Instead of notifying his family, they took his body to Epe General Hospital mortuary and abandoned it. They tortured him before dumping his corpse on Tuesday, February 11, 2025.”

The brother also claimed that a female neighbor was responsible for his sibling’s arrest.

The report has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many Nigerians demanding justice and accountability from law enforcement authorities.
