So my brother went to
@kudabankhelp
office today at yaba to know the reason why his account was locked and yet not to be opened after dropping his proof to them that it’s a legit money and not fraud money at all. So funny how when he got there this morning. They sent their mopol to arrest him and started harassing him for no reason.

So every young guy money has to be fraud money?? Do they who our father is?? He called me on the phone and I was listening background while they’re harassing him trying to detain him. Please twitter help us do your thing.

However, the high point for many on social media was the state Qudus was left after being harassed by the officers. In one of the recordings, the victim could be heard crying and wailing “water! water!! water!!!” as the security operatives kept dragging him,
