When I Got There I Met So Many Others Who Were Arrested Too. They Told Us To Bring N50k Each Before They Will Release Us And Our Cars That They Seized.
Some People Paid The Money. When It Got To My Turn I Told Them I Can Only Pay N20k But They Refused And Sent Me Out. After A While They Ask Me To Bring N40k, Because Their DPO Knows About The Cars And She Will Collect Her Own Share Too.
