Despite using a photo of Force Public Relations Officer, a young Nigerian singer, Trishawnary has taken to Twitter to share how he was harassed by rogue police officers while he was traveling.
He had alerted the police spokesperson of his action via Twitter and hoped that he would not be harassed or extorted by officers at checkpoints.
He was, however, shocked that the police officers them stopped them collected N5000.
According to the artiste with username @trishawnary on Twitter, the security personnel claimed that the car’s chasis number did not match.
He shared; “Sir @Princemoye1 I dey travel tomorrow by road. I have used your picture as screen saver hoping that your boys will not descend on me and take me to somewhere I no know.
