Police Dismiss Kogi Inspector Over Extortion (Photo) by Anyways(op): 10:04pm On Jul 29, 2022

The Nigeria Police Force has dismissed a former Police Inspector, Richard Gele, caught in a viral video dignifying and justifying extortion of members of the public and official corruption which trended from July 25, 2022.

The former Inspector, with AP/No. 188547, was until his dismissal, attached to Police Mobile Force 77 Squadron, Okene, Kogi State, and deployed to the Itobe–Anyigba Road for the safety of road users and commuters. This was the route where the incident occurred.

The dismissed Inspector, who hails from Benue State, was enlisted into the Nigeria Police Force in September, 2000.

The officer has been de-kitted and handed over to the Commissioner of Police, Kogi State, for further necessary action.

His dismissal came after subjection to internal disciplinary mechanisms and being found wanting of the charges levelled against him in line with extant laws governing the conduct of police personnel.

His dismissal and de-kitting, however, implies that he, henceforth, ceases to be a member of the Nigeria Police Force.

The IGP, Usman Baba, while expressing the commitment of his administration at bequeathing policing standards in tandem with international best practices to the nation, warned all personnel to eschew extortion, unprofessionalism, corruption and other inappropriate acts.

Additionally, he urged police officers across the nation to display exemplary courage and patriotism in the discharge of their duties.

When will they know that you can't seperate police with corruption. Oga, that 50 box is helping them a lot.
Our politicians earn unnecessary allowances, what about Army, Police, Teachers and other government employee.

Force men ought to know they are not above the law.
Lots of bad eggs among them.
Kudos to the IG for doing the needful.
Hope others will learn from this.

Eye service. What did the police do about the commander that encouraged him to extort people in exchange for a cut? The police only act when their evil deeds become open to the public.

The rank and file can't extort people without the blessings of their commanders. Do you think officers from a station can go around committing all sorts of madness if the DPO doesn't allow them? Or SARS or whatever name they parade themselves with these days can continue abducting and ransoming people if their OCs don't allow them? Maybe it's time we started paying more attention to the puppeteers running the show in the background.

"Na person wey dem catch na him be thief..."

Those senior officers in the police are the people the junior officers remit the extorted monies to... The ogas give them target and they have to meet it. If we are being honest, the dismissal should start from top to bottom.... but this is Nigeria where the daily happenings defiles every human logic.

Next thing you know, this dismissed officer will form his own kidnapping or armed robbery gang then use his few contacts in the police to acquire ammunitions and police intel for series of operations.... We have seen it severally with likes of E-money and Monday Adikwu (offa robbery case)

everyone want live above their means. if particular job isn't footing your bills get a small side hustle.

rather than go about scamming or extorting others is same shoes with you, just think out of the box. sure this one won't take to crime full time?
