Imo CP orders arrest of policemen extorting bus drivers in viral video

The Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command, CP Aboki Danjuma, has ordered the arrest of an officer and his team for extorting money from commercial bus drivers.

The command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Henry Okoye, disclosed this in a statement on X.com on Sunday.

A 15-second video showed a policeman collecting money from commercial bus drivers plying the road.

Okoye assured all that he would “personally identify these officers and share their details here to show that the command has zero tolerance for extortion.”

He added that the CP has also directed the command’s Complaint Response Unit and Provost Department to ensure the officers receive maximum punishment.

“Disciplinary actions will be taken against them to serve as a warning to others,” he added.
