The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, on Monday said
that six police officers were arrested for extortion, rape and attempted
murder in the last two weeks.
According to Owoseni, two of the suspects were arrested for ‘defilement’, two for misconduct and two others for extortion at gun point.
According to him, the police officers arrested for extortion have been dismissed.
The police commissioner said that the dismissed police officers were fond of raiding unsuspecting members of the public in the metropolis whom they falsely brand as internet fraudsters.
“These policemen are tarnishing the image of the police by using weapons bought with taxpayers’ money to threaten, intimidate and extort the people,” Mr. Owoseni said.
