The new Police Commissioner in Anambra State, CP Aderemi Adeoye, has announced the immediate removal and replacement of the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the B Division, in Awka, the State capital.

The announcement which CP Adeoye made during his maiden press conference with newsmen at the Command’s Headquarters in Amawbia, on Wednesday, came just few hours after the 247UREPORTS’ publication on alleged recurrent illegal arrests of some residents by the DPO and his junior officers who would end up extorting the sum of ₦20,000 each from the victim, to release them, without telling them why they were arrested.

Dismissal and prosecution would have been better, mere removal means they are still in the NPF and would one day be redeployed to another station to continue their bad work
