Scott Iguma Accuses Nigeria Police of Undermining Justice After Arrest Over Real Estate Scam Allegations

Lagos, Nigeria – July 24, 2025 | By SpringnewsNG Media Limited

Nigerian activist and social media personality, Scott Iguma, has publicly accused the Nigeria Police Force of acting as an enemy of justice and being driven by corruption rather than a commitment to the country’s constitution.

This statement follows his release on N10 million bail granted by a Lagos State High Court earlier this week. Iguma was detained after raising allegations on social media against prominent real estate company, PWAN Group, accusing the firm of defrauding unsuspecting customers.

Iguma Speaks Out After Release

In a video shared on Thursday to thank the public for their support, Scott Iguma expressed deep frustration over his treatment by the police during the ordeal. He claimed that rather than upholding justice, the police acted in favor of financial interests and against the Nigerian people.

“With my experience with the Nigeria Police, it’s quite sad. They are not loyal to Nigeria or the constitution—they’re loyal only to money,” he said in the video.

“The Nigeria Police are currently fighting against justice, not injustice. They are so corrupt that you could bribe them with a bottle of Coke, and they would frame an innocent person for murder,” Iguma added.

Background of the Arrest

Iguma was arrested after accusing PWAN of scamming customers—a claim that led to legal action and his remand in custody. His arrest sparked online outrage and calls for transparency in the justice system, particularly regarding how authorities handle whistleblower complaints and allegations of corporate fraud.

After spending several days in detention, the court granted him bail on Monday, July 21, 2025. His supporters have since argued that his arrest was politically motivated and aimed at silencing criticism of influential companies.

Public Reactions and Justice Concerns

The case has reignited public debate on police accountability and the role of law enforcement in protecting citizens’ rights. Many Nigerians have taken to social media to condemn what they see as systemic abuse and corruption within the police force.

Legal analysts have also criticized the way the case was handled, warning that such arrests could deter activists and journalists from exposing alleged corporate fraud and human rights abuses.

As the legal process continues, Scott Iguma remains outspoken, vowing to continue his advocacy work and promising to hold both private and public institutions accountable.
