This is coming three days after he was granted bail.

DAILY POST reports that Iguma was arrested and remanded in prison by a Lagos State High Court after calling out a real estate company, PWAN, for allegedly scamming customers.

He was however granted a N10 million bail on Monday.

Speaking in a new video shared on Thursday to appreciate the public for standing up for him, Scott Iguma accused the police of being a tool used to oppress innocent citizens.

Narrating his travails, he stated that the police are not loyal to the Nigeria constitution.

“With my experience with the Nigeria Police, it’s quite so sad. What I can say with my experience with the police is that they are not loyal to the country Nigeria, they are not loyal to the law of Nigeria, to justice. All they are loyal to is money.

“With my experience, I can say that the Nigeria Police are currently the one fighting against justice. They are not fighting against injustice. The Nigerian police are so cheap that you can bribe them with a bottle of coke, and they will help you convict an innocent man for murder. With what I saw, and what they did to me, is so sad.”
