Police operatives attached to the Onipanu
division of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested two suspects
for forcefully and illegally demanding waybills from tanker drivers and
extorting money from them in the Ado Odo/Ota Local Government Area.
The suspects names were given as were Rasheed Sholanke and Lukman Adebesin.
The state Police Public Relations
Officer, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi, said the suspects were arrested after one
of the victims called attention of the Divisional Police Officer in
charge of Onipanu to the illegal activities of the duo.
Adejobi
said, “Some police detectives were dispatched to the scene where the
suspects were arrested with a single -barrelled gun and one fake police
warrant card.
He said, “The suspects could not give the
police any satisfactory answer on how the fake police warrant card came
to be in their possession.
“The Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid
Ali, has directed that the matter be properly investigated and the
suspects be charged to court.
“He also warned those who stay on the
highway to extort money from motorists to desist as such act because
such will no longer be tolerated by the police command.”
