Some police officers in Cross Rivers state have arrested and detained two men for the most unbelievable reason ever.

The police in Obudu, Cross River State, took the two men, one Stephen Apebende and his friend into custody for allegedly taking snapshots of the police officers with their mobile phones while extorting money from road users.
Daily Post reports that the confined men, who spent their Easter Sunday and Monday holidays at the police cell in Obudu Police Station, were apprehended along the Obudu Ranch Resort Road at the police checkpoint just before the residence of the Chief of Staff to Governor Ben Ayade, Mr. Martins Orim.
The officers were reportedly angry that Apebende and his friend had snapped them while squeezing money from road users on Friday.
The situation was further complicated after the policemen realised the photo album of the android and i-phone that was used by the men in capturing their images were not accessible to them, leading to the arrest of the duo.
