UPDATE 1: Thank you for all the support you are giving me. I told Abdou to go to the station, and I am accused of helping a trans person and sending her sexual pictures (which is not true, and they had to look at his phone to know that). I am scared because I know that in Gambia many LGBT things are forbidden... and because some accusations seem real. And they are harassing me to pay ASAP. Abdou said that it's true all of this. The Police number that is harassing me is +220 358 5509, can you check if its real or not?
UPDATE 2: I am gathering information to report to the police. Apparently they have tried to scam people in my close circle also asking for money. It is more than clear that this is a scam. I will see if I can get something with the report (although I doubt it). Thanks for the help!

Block the number. They have no authority where you live. True or not why pay the fascists?
This does not sound real.
It's trivial to spoof phone numbers, and actual police aren't going to call you to shake you down.
You need to block all the parties and numbers involved, and take a step back.
