UK-Based Nigerian Lady Shares How She Was Arrested Over Language Misunderstanding
According to her, she had gone to a pharmacy to buy medication for her husband when an innocent remark during a phone conversation led to her unexpected arrest.
While speaking to her husband on the phone, she casually used the word “drugs” instead of “medications,” unaware that bystanders at the pharmacy misinterpreted her words.
Moments later, police officers arrived and took her into custody.
Sharing her ordeal in a TikTok video, she said, “I was arrested last night and detained. Now, I am heading home. Here’s what happened: I went to the pharmacy to get some drugs for my husband.
"After purchasing them, I called him and said, ‘I got the drugs, I got two drugs for you. When you take them, you’ll feel better.’
"I had no idea people around me were alarmed by the word ‘drugs.’ Before I knew it, the police showed up, saying they received a report about drugs.”
She explained that the officers did not immediately believe her when she tried to clarify that she was referring to over-the-counter medicine like Ibuprofen.
Despite her explanations, she was taken to the police station for questioning, and her home was even searched as part of the investigation.
"They detained me, questioned me, and searched my house," she added.
