Four Police officers have been arrested and taken into custody over alleged involvement in extortion while on duty in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
In a trending video online, the Police officers, said to be from FCT Command, were reportedly captured extorting money from a commuter at Area 11, Abuja.
The victim was said to have withdrawn some money from a GTBank ATM located within the area and was seen handing over the cash to some Police officers waiting by a Police van parked across the street.
The trending video eventually 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.
