Imo State police commissioner, Aboki Danjuma, has demoted an officer, Inspector Isong Osudueh, attached to the Counter Terrorism Unit, CTU, in Owerri, following a widely circulated video showing him extorting money from motorists along the Owerri-Onitsha Expressway.
Danjuma announced the disciplinary action in a statement by the Commandās spokesman, Henry Okoye, stating that the officerās behaviour was āshameful and unprofessionalā.

āThis incident highlights the police Commandās commitment to maintaining professionalism, transparency, and integrity among its personnel,ā he said.
