The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, on Wednesday, says the officers who were involved in extortion while on duty in Abuja have been taken into custody.
A trending video had captured the officers extorting money from a commuter at Area 11, Abuja.
In the video, the victim had withdrawn some money from a GT
Bank ATM located within the area and was seen handing the cash to some police officers waiting by a police van parked across the street.
The trending video has attracted the attention of the police authorities. The FCT Commissioner of Police, CP Sunday Babaji, in a statement issued on Wednesday by the command’s spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, ordered an investigation into the matter.
