Two Inspectors, Three Sergeants Extort Suspects Of N2 Million Via Pos

The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole, has ordered the arrest and detention of two Inspectors and three Sergeants for allegedly extorting N2 Million from two suspects via Point of Sale machine.

According to a Police Situation Report sighted by our Correspondent, the incident happened on February 25, 2022 at 4pm.

It was also gathered that four among the policemen: Inspector Enext, Inspector  Akpan, Sergeant Musax and Sergeant Ade, all attached to the Force Criminal Investigation Department, Lagos State Annex, disappeared following the discovery of the crime, leaving only Sergeant Emmanuel Iseguan at the mercy of their superiors.

Iseguan had since been arrested and detained.

The crime committed by the two suspects, leading to them parting with N2 million, is yet unknown.

Iseguan, with Force Number 448576, with the fleeing four other policemen went to a PoS shop at Ogere Tanbola Road to make a transaction of the sum of N2 million.

The POS operator, identified as Ibrahim Isah, suspecting that the transaction was illegal, alerted detectives attached to the Sagamu Police Station.
