Police disrobe, dismiss officer over N98,000 extortion in Lagos
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Sergeant Ekpo Shimuyere with Force No. 461654 has been dismissed from the Lagos State Police Command, Sogunle Division for extorting N98,000 from a young man.

The Lagos State Police Command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed on Wednesday that Shimuyere was dismissed and disrobed by the Provost Department of the command for extorting N98,000 from a young man.

Shimuyere, it was reported, collected the young man’s phone and used a POS operator to transfer N98,000 out of the N100,000 in the young man’s bank account. Hundeyin stated that the policeman’s actions were against the ethics of the profession.

“Police Force got the complaint from the victim and the officer denied the crime when he was contacted. The command placed him under detention so that he will not tamper with the evidence.

“We wrote to his bank and obtained his statement of account. We were able to trace the money to where the POS operator transferred it before transferring the money to the officer’s account.

“We followed due process to get his account. The victim was invited in the course of investigation, and he testified.

“The POS operator was also invited, and he said the officer requested him to transfer the money from the victim’s account to another one,” Hundeyin added.

Hundeyin stated that Shimuyere was put through an Orderly Room trial in accordance with the law. The Commissioner of Police, Lagos Command, Mr Idowu Owohunwa, reviewed the trial and approved the punishment of dismissal from the force for the officer attached to the Sogunle Police Division.

Hundeyin warned officers and men against corruption and emphasised that the dismissal was meant to deter others. He also warned that the command would continue to punish police officers who engage in unprofessional conduct.
