No fewer than six operatives of the disbanded Eagle Crack team of the Rivers State Police have been arrested for allegedly extorting an undergraduate of the University of Port Harcourt of the sum of N150,000.
The policemen are currently undergoing interrogation at the State Criminal and Investigation Department of the State Police Command.
The victim, a final year student identified as Victor who saw one of the police officer’s mobile phone in his car confirmed the arrest to newsmen in Port Harcourt on Thursday.
But Victor expressed sadness that the Investigating Police Officer at the State CID was intimidating him and his friend over the statement made at the Police headquarters which the IPO alleged was not credible.
