Lagos Police Command has arrested two of its officers for alleged extortion.
According to the Command, “Attention of Lagos State Police Command is drawn to a video on social media in which a Lady alleged that her vehicles was impounded by the Divisional Traffic Officer (DTO) Agbowa Division and a female sergeant.
She equally accused the officers of extorting money from her.
After analysing the video, the officers mentioned were identified by our operatives and arrested. They are Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Adebayo Ojo and Sergeant Adeleke Mojisola.

This not the first time which they have been doing useless work
Good and very quick intervention by the Police Authourities…hope the complainant will follow up with the Zest in which she narrated her ordeal in the hands of the alleged Officers…the whole Nation and the world are eagerly waiting for the outcome of the investigation and hopefully, this will serve as a forwarning to other Police Officers who find it very easy to fleece those they are supposed to be protecting…the Police Image should not , and Never be allowed to be dented by few Bad Eggs in the Force.
