Anambra CP Orders Arrest of 3policemen over
extortion
The visions of Mr. John B. Abang, the new Anambra Police
Commissioner, to rid the State of criminal activities and terror
gangs may not take long before their fruition. This is because the
new CP has since hit the ground running.
In his bid to sanitize the Anambra Police Command and thoroughly
reform it, Mr. Abang, has read the riot act to dubious officers and
men who are fond of receiving bribes from the public and
gratifications before they grant bail to suspects in their
custody.
Mr. Abang, upon resuming as CP, warned his men and officers not
to extort or collect money before granting bail on bailable
offences.
However, three policemen have been arrested and undergoing
investigation for extorting money from one Mrs. Love Mbachu and two
others.
Responding to the development in a short message to PRNigeria,
the police spokesperson in Anambra, Haruna Mohammed said “Following
the report that Policemen attached to Ogidi Area Command allegedly
extorted the sum of N60,000 from one Mrs. Love Mbachu, the
Commissioner of Police, CP John B. Abang, directed Acp X SDQ to
investigate and recover the money within 12 hours.
“In compliance with the CP’s directives, the Policemen involved
have been arrested and the sum of N60,000 recovered, and handed
over to the victims. Meanwhile, all cases are under investigation
after which the defaulters would be tried in orderly room.”
The new police boss has paid a familiarization tour to sister
security agencies and other critical institutions in the State to
solicit their supports and robust partnerships. He has urged the
public to forward their complaints to his office for prompt
security action on crimnal activities in the state.
