A user on Twitter – @Mr_Svengali had quite a nasty night yesterday with the Nigerian Police when he and three of his friends were picked up by the Policemen from the Ojuelegba Police Command For “Eating out at night”.

According to him, it was a little past 10PM when they were picked up and they were detained for 24 hours with no charges or information on why they were being detained.

His tweets have caused quite a reaction on Nigerian Twitter with several people calling out the injustice of the Nigerian police.
