CP, ABOKI DANJUMA DEMOTES POLICE OFFICER FOR EXTORTING MOTORISTS IN IMO
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 Command’s spokesman, Henry Okoye, stating that the officer’s behaviour was “shameful and unprofessional”.
The supervisory officer has also been issued an official query for lack of supervision.
Aboki, who condemned the officer’s actions, stated that the Command would not tolerate any form of extortion or misconduct by its personnel.
He warned that supervisory officers who fail to carry out their oversight duties will face severe sanctions.
The CP urged residents to continue supporting the police and other security agencies with timely and actionable information to ensure public safety.
“This incident highlights the police Command’s commitment to maintaining professionalism, transparency, and integrity among its personnel,” he said.
