Adabo Mohammed, a police inspector has been dismissed over alleged involvement in robbery and kidnapping in the federal capital territory (FCT).



Announcing this on Friday, May 17, the Nigeria Police Force spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi said Mohammed and five others were members of an armed robbery gang allegedly responsible for the stealing of N29.8 million from a victim during a robbery operation in the Gwagwalada area of Abuja.



The dismissed officer was also part of a gang that kidnapped one Ikechukwu Emmanuel Okafor, in the Tunga Maje area of Abuja and collected N4.4 million in ransom. He further revealed that Mohammed has been charged to court.



Adejobi also disclosed that the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun has also approved the demotion of three inspectors to the rank of sergeant over alleged extortion.



The demoted officers as Osagie Efford, Semiu Agbekin, and Francis Ahuen, who were attached to the special tactical squad (STS) in the FCT. It was gathered that they intercepted an unregistered Mercedes Benz at the Gwarinpa area of the territory and “forced the occupants to part with the total sum of N29.4m”.



Adejobi added;



“While the monies have been returned to the complainants, the officers were subjected to orderly room trial in line with extant laws, and have been demoted.”

Is the police your friend? This is a national disgrace. Many police officers and mnqy bankers are big threat to the Nigerian society.

This thread will likely be peaceful since none of the criminal officers bears an Igbo name. Most of the comments will focus on the criminals without condemning their tribe, and that's the right thing to do in a situation like this. But had it been any of the criminals bears an Igbo name, the entire Igbo tribe will be condemned and Obi and IPOB will be dragged.

Every tribe and every society has criminals but tribal bigots on Nairaland act as if only the Igbo tribe has criminals.
