Three policemen attached to the Rivers State Police Command are confirmed to have forced two victims, at gunpoint, to part with with the sum of $3,000.

The names of the offending policemen are:

- Inspector Michael Odey
- ASP Doubara Edonyabo, and
- ASP Talent Mungo.

This was confirmed in a statement issued by Superintendent of Police Grace Woyengikuro Iringe-Koko, who is the Public Relations Officer of the Rivers Command.

According to her, the money has since been recovered from the officers and refunded to the victims.

Also, Inspector Michael Odey has been dismissed from the Police effective 07 February 2024 after the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) Zone 16 Bayelsa State, Alifa Omata, upheld the recommendation of the Rivers State command which had recommended that the 3 officers be dismissed.

Asked why the two others were not dismissed, Mrs Iringe-Koko said it was because of their kids ranks; as ASPs, their recommendation for dismissal is beyond what an AIG can review.

“The disciplinary process for Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASPs) Doubara Edonyabo and Talent Mungo involves review by the Inspector General of Police and the Police Service Commission, ensuring a fair and just resolution".
