This was my first experience with the police.
31st December, 2005.
I was only 10.

I & my friend were playing downstairs the house when they parked their van, threatened to shoot us if we ran, then took us to LION BUILDING.

No one knew or saw when they took us...

We were on the bus with other people they “raided”.

I was crying that I was only 10 & a female officer said I was lying, that I can’t be 10 & be fat like this. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏽‍♀️" title="Frau schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Frau schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht (mittlerer Hautton)">

I poked my head out of the bus when I saw my aunty & shouted that we had been arrested.

She was the one who went

to call my grandma & other people in our house.

I was slapped repeatedly cos I refused to go into the cell. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😕" title="Verwirrtes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Verwirrtes Gesicht">

They told our parents we threw bangers into their van & collected N20,000 before they released us.

This injustice has been happening for too long. #EndSARS #EndSWAT
