Police nab constabularies for extorting Dutch woman

The Police, on Friday, confirmed the apprehension of the Special Constabularies captured in a viral video demanding money from a Dutch woman rider in the Ojongbodu area along Iseyin/Ogbomosho Road in Oyo state.

Details of their arrest were disclosed in a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, who revealed that they were arrested for their “unprofessional, unacceptable, and punishable acts.”

Adejobi also disclosed that “the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Command, CP Adebola Ayinde Hamzat, has instituted a disciplinary procedure on the matter immediately.”

“The police authority has condemned the act and ordered that the men and their supervising Divisional Police Officer be sanctioned accordingly”, the statement said.

He described the act as unpoliced-like and stated it would never be tolerated in any manner.

He assured that the Force would, however, intensify efforts in commencing the reorientation programme initiated by the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, for officers and men of the Force to address issues of this nature and reposition the Nigeria Police.
