The officer was said to have been filmed extorting motorists along Owerri-Onitsha Express Road in Imo State.

The officers were said to have been filmed assaulting a yet-to-be-identified resident in an unknown location in the state.

The businessman was shot dead on Friday in the state for allegedly refusing to give a bribe to some police operatives.

The police did not mention who the inspector allegedly murdered as well as where and when he allegedly carried out the act.

The inescapable reality is that despite 24 unbroken years of civil rule, respect for basic rights remains elusive for millions of Nigerians.

The police commissioner has directed that the case be transferred to the state CID.

The police have asked victims of the officers’ alleged misconduct to come to the State Criminal Investigation Department.

Unfortunately, most of the political figures that rode on the awareness created by the protest among the youths to boost their political wings at the 2023 general election seems not to be concerned about the continuous detention of the protesters with their total silence on the detention. This is really a departure from the reasons for the protest and disservice to the labour of those that paid the supreme price during the protest.

The force spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Saturday, reiterated that any armed police operative who extorts a Nigerian is an armed robber.

The incident happened on Saturday at Umuodu, Okpuno, a community in Awka South Local Government Area of Imo State.
