Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Oyo State Police Command dismissed special constables Kareem Fatai and Jimoh Lukman on Thursday over allegations of extortion.<\/p>\n

Briefing newsmen at the command\u2019s headquarters in Eleyele, Ibadan, Commissioner of Police Adebola Hamzat said the constables were captured in a viral video soliciting money from Ms Noraly Schoenmaker, a tourist from the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

The incident happened on October 23, 2023, along Moniya-Iseyin Road.<\/p>\n

Hamzat said that the dismissed constables deliberately defied numerous orders and directives against professional misconduct, extortion, lack of civility, and corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have always been warning against extortion. We have been alerting everyone that this administration has zero tolerance for corruption. That is the stand of the Inspector General of Police and my stand as the Commissioner of Police in Oyo State,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner of Police stated emphatically that \u201cwe don\u2019t condone corruption and don\u2019t want the Command to be given a bad name.\u201d<\/p>\n
