Nigerians took to Twitter on Monday to express their outrage and frustration over the alleged exploitation of travelers by some members of the Nigeria Police Force.

The accusations centered on the police's use of illegal methods, such as mounting checkpoints and conducting stop-and-search operations, to extort money from travelers on major highways during long-distance trips.

Many Twitter users shared their personal experiences and encounters with the police, describing the practices as "highway robbery" and "extortion." They called on the authorities to take action and put an end to the alleged corruption.

"This is not policing, it's highway robbery! The @PoliceNG needs to do something about these extortionate checkpoints on our highways," tweeted @JohnDoe.

"I was traveling from Lagos to Abuja last week and I was stopped at three different checkpoints. Each time, I was asked to pay a 'fine' for no reason. This is unacceptable!" said @JaneSmith.

The Twitter users also shared videos and photos of the alleged extortion, showing police officers demanding money from travelers.

"The police are supposed to protect us, not exploit us. We need to speak out against this corruption and demand change," tweeted @NigerianCitizen.

The outrage on Twitter highlights the need for reform and accountability within the Nigeria Police Force. 

The authorities must take concrete steps to address these allegations and ensure that the police serve and protect the citizens, rather than exploiting them.
