The Nigeria Police Force has taken swift action against six officers caught in a viral video engaging in extortion along the Benin bypass.
The officers, including a Chief Superintendent of Police who supervised the team, were brought before the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, at the Force Headquarters. The IGP described their conduct as “shameful, distasteful, and utterly unacceptable ” and ordered immediate disciplinary action.
According to a police statement, the officers have been queried, and orderly room trials for the Inspectors involved are underway.
The Force said this move underscores its commitment to professionalism, integrity, and accountability. The public was assured that such misconduct would not be tolerated and that appropriate sanctions would follow.
