In rather sensational news, a man named Sango Svengali along with 3 of his friends were arrested on Tuesday night for allegedly committing the grand crime of eating late.
The man claimed he returned late from work and decided to stay at a friend’s for the night. He narrated that he and his buddies decided to have a late dinner of Indomie, when done, he said he and his friends were rounded up by the police and then taken into custody.
On getting to the police station, the purported offenders were then asked to ‘settle’ with N15000 to get out of the mess.
Sango then claimed that they were paraded before the area commander who then told them to shave their beards as he branded them Boko Haram members.
Sango said he and his friends were forced to stay in a cell from Tuesday night till Wednesday morning in a cell that was filthy and stinky. No charges were brought up against them, nothing was communicated to them.
When they were brought before the area commander, he said their crime was rating at such an unholy hour.
