Police officers arrested two boys on a bus en route to Ilorin at Kola Daisi University, Ibadan, Oyo State, on Sunday.

A Twitter user, who was on the same bus, said the officers singled out the two young men and accused them of being fraudsters. The officers were said to have concealed their identities and police station.

“Hello everyone, I was coming from Ibadan to Ilorin today and when I almost reached Kola Daisi University, the men of the Nigeria Police Force stopped our car. After searching everyone, they ordered 2 guys to come down, claiming they are yahoo boys; they took those guys with them and asked driver to zoom off,” wrote @iampenlord.

“We asked them of their station and they said it’s none of our business. One of the boys’ names is Adesoji. He claimed to be an IJMB student in Ilorin. He’s short, dark and has pimples on his face with Afro hairstyle. The other guy is Gabriel. He’s tall, wore white round neck with locked hair. Myself and other passengers tried to reach the number or their next of kin that was filled on the paper that we were given at the park, but none was available. Please, if you’ve boys that left Ibadan for Ilorin today, kindly call them.

“The names of their next of kin are Joseph (sic) and Mic respectively. Please kindly retweet this to reach wider audience and tag the necessary people you think can be of help.”

FIJ made several calls to Joseph, Adesoji’s next of kin, but they were not answered. Mic, Gabriel’s next of kin, said he did not know him.

FIJ also made several calls to DSP Adewale Osifeso, the Oyo police spokesperson, but they were not answered. At press time, he had not responded to a text message sent to him.
