A Nigerian man living in the U.S. has opened up about a troubling experience with Nigerian police during a recent visit home. In a viral video, he shared how officers stopped him, searched his belongings and car, all reportedly because of his dreadlocks.
Despite finding nothing suspicious, the officers insisted on taking him to the station and pressured him for a bribe.
The man refused to pay and reached out to the U.S. embassy for help, which led to his release. This incident highlights ongoing issues of police harassment and corruption in Nigeria.
