In the tweet on Saturday, Hundeyin, a Superintendent of Police, said: “‘Please, declare me wanted!’
“I was stupefied.
“I blinked and looked at him again.
“‘What did you say,’ I asked.
“‘Please, I want you to declare me wanted,’ he repeated.
“‘Why do you want to be declared wanted,’ I inquired, amused.
“‘Actually, I am applying for asylum at xyz Embassy. During the interview, I told them that I am being persecuted to the point of being declared wanted by the Police. They now asked for evidence of the ‘wanted’ declaration. I can easily do the artwork but I know they will come and verify. That is why I want it from the source.’”
