Police officers arrested for extorting N500,000 from a man in Anambra
By Sylvanus Abuh//:
In an effort to fish out some bad eggs in the Nigerian police, the Anambra State Police Command has arrested some officers of the command after a petition indicted them of extorting N500,000 from a citizen.
The officers have been charged with misconduct in line with the extant disciplinary procedure of the Police Force.
This disclosed in a statement issued by the command’s spokesman, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu on Wednesday and made available to newsmen.
However, the press statement did not contain the names of the officers involved in the extortion.
Ikenga simply noted that the extorted amount has been recovered from the arrested officers and returned to the citizen.
