Four Nigerian Police Officers Arrested And Kept Under Custody Over Extortion by markode777: 6:34am On Aug 24, 2017
Four Police officers serving under the Lagos Police Command were apprehended and detained over the allegations of extortion after the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris commanded their arrest, the Police Compliant Rapid Response Unit (PCRRU) explained.

The accused officers, two Sergeants and two Inspectors, with their power extorted N100,000 from a Nigerian after putting allegations of being a scammer on an innocent person.

Assistant Commissioner of Police in Charge, (PCRRU), Abayomi Shogunle, issued a statement about the crime committed, and said that a Nigerian on August 17 reported that along Ogudu Road, two police officers stopped his car and with their power collected his phone and accused him of being a scammer and pushed him to give them the sum of N100,000.

Shogunle said:

“The Public Complaint Rapid Response Unit, PCRRU, immediately registered the case and ticket number PCRRU972905 was issued.

“The author of the post (name withheld) was contacted and a meeting between him and PCRRU investigators took place at the Force Headquarters Annex, Moloney Street, Lagos, on Monday, August 21.

“The Police officers involved— two Inspectors and two Sergeants attached to Ogudu Divison, Lagos State— have been identified and removed from duty that involves any form of contact with members of the public, pending the conclusion of a detailed investigation.

“PCRRU preliminary investigation showed that the policemen, on August 16, at about 11a.m., intercepted the complainant along Ogudu Road and in the course of their interaction went beyond their mandate by going through the contents of the complainant’s mobile phone.

“Bank statement confirms that the complainant, following the orders of one of the officers, transferred N15,000 into the account of a third party (name withheld).

“The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has directed the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 2, Lagos, to carry out a detailed investigation into this alleged misconduct and appropriate disciplinary action taken against anyone found to have erred.

“All four policemen and bank statement have been handed over to the AIG Zone 2 today (yesterday) by PCRRU investigators for the required action.

“Members of the public are once again reminded that the PCRRU is open 24 hours every day to receive and resolve all complaints relating to issues of Police misconduct from across the country."

Guy leave that thing. Whatever that is done differently but positively as compared to the last "stealing is not corruption" regime, then it's commendable.
