The Rivers state police command has arrested a yet-to-be-identified man for allegedly being in possession of a “condom containing fluid.”
On Tuesday, the man’s brother had taken to Twitter to call out the police over the arrest as well as his detention.
In a flurry of tweets, the complainant had explained that his brother was arrested by operatives of the now-defunct special anti-robbery squad (SARS) on Monday at SARS road in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
He said they have been looking for him since then and only learned of his arrest in the early hours of Tuesday.
According to him, the police operatives allegedly demanded money to secure the release of his brother.
