The Lagos State Police Command Spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, has recounted how a Nigerian seeking asylum abroad requested the Police to declare him wanted.
Ekweanaedo News reports that the police PRO made this known via X page on Saturday.
He revealed it was shocking to him when the Nigerian asked that the Police declare him wanted so that he could apply for asylum.
He wrote,
“‘Please, declare me wanted!’ I was stupefied. I blinked and looked at him again. ‘What did you say,’ I asked.
“Please, I want you to declare me wanted,’ he repeated.
“Why do you want to be declared wanted,’ I inquired, amused.
“Actually, I am applying for asylum at xyz Embassy. During the interview, I told them that I am being persecuted to the point of being declared wanted by the Police.
“They now asked for evidence of the ‘wanted’ declaration. I can easily do the artwork but I know they will come and verify. That is why I want it from the source.”
