The Lagos State Police Command Spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, has recounted how a Nigerian seeking asylum abroad requested the Police to declare him wanted.
Naija News reports that the police PRO made this known via X on Saturday.
Hundeyin said he was shocked 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.”
