POLICE FORCES ACTIVIST TO DO MONEY TRANSFER TO OWN ACCOUNT OVER TINT PERMIT CERTIFICATE:

This is the ordeal of one Comrade Justice Oni-Edigin who hails from Edo state in the hands of men of the police force on Monday the 31st of July, 2017 over tint permit authentication.

His naration goes thus:

On Monday the 31st of July, 2017 at about 5pm as he was returning from Lagos to Benin, he met men of the Nigeria Police along the Lagos-Benin express Road few minutes drive to Ore in Ondo state, the first checkpoint he met said his tint permit document is the old one that they will not allow him to proceed with his journey, he either settle them with the sum of N10, 000 or he will be kept there with them till in the morning, he pleaded that, since the officers have educated him on it, he will take steps in updating it as soon as he gets to Benin, He was refused and ignored while they attended to other motorists. As soon as he introduced himself as an activist, they became furious and threatened to deal with him as the location is the highway where he can be labeled to be anything and he won't have anyone to defend him, he became afraid and pleaded with the sum of N2000 which one of the officers by the name Musa Ibrahim collected and allowed him to go.

At the second checkpoint which is just few minutes drive away, he was stopped and same issue of old tint permit came up, he explained to them that he is an activist and that he had been told by the men at the checkpoint before theirs about it and promised to do the needful as soon as he gets to Benin, all he said fell on deaf hears as they demanded the sum of N20, 000 from him if he does not want to stay till morning with them. He told them he has exhausted his cash, they requested that he do a transfer, he pleaded that they should just let him go or take him to their station so that he can have a word with the DPO, they refused and ignored him. One of the officers offered him his account number to do the transfer to. Seeing that, they weren't ready to take him to their station and not too sure of the plans they have, he became scared as it was around after 8pm this time. He had to do a transfer of N2,020 to the account with the name AFOLABI SAR, a name that appears not to be full due to bank alert constraints but full details can obtained from beneficiary's bank.

He talked about too much desperation displayed by the officers on their duty post in extorting citizens due to one thing or the other.

He has requested that the police officers involved in this should be sanctioned in other to cleanse the force of such elements who could do anything to get what they want from citizens abandoning prefessional conducts of the police in the discharge of their duties.

SINCE WHEN THIS WAS SENT TO PUBLIC COMPLAINT UNIT OF THE POLICE, NO RESPONSE EVEN THE POST CAN NO LONGER BE FOUND ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE, THE WHATSAPP NUMBER DID NOT RESPOND EITHER.

IS THE POLICE AUTHORITY TRULY SINCERE WITH THE FIGHT AGAINST INTERNAL CORRUPTION?
