Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has sacked four policemen attached to Ijebu-Ode Area Command in Ogun State.
The men were found guilty of extorting N50,000 from a man they arrested on a trumped-up charge.
Affected by the dismissal are Inspector Mufutau Olaosun, Sgt. Adebayo Temitope, Cpl. Bakare Taiwo and Cpl. Adesoye Ayokunlehin.
A statement from Assistant Commissioner of Police, Abayomi Sogunle, who heads the Police Public Complaints Rapid Response Unit, said the men were dismissed after they were found guilty in an Orderly Room trial, at the Area Command Headquarters, Ijebu-Ode.
They were charged with discreditable Conduct and Corrupt Practice under the First Schedule of Police Act and Regulations Cap. P19. Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
The four men on June 7, 2017 without any grounds, arrested a man who was just leaving a bank and took him to the Igbeba Station, where they labelled him a “yahoo yahoo boy” and made him frog jump and write a self-incriminating statement, that he was an internet fraudster.
