Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Police have confirmed they are investigating an allegation of corrupt activities by the traffic police around Gado Nasko road at Federal Housing Estate, Kubwa, FCT, Abuja.<\/p>\n

The confirmation was announced on Tuesday by the Force Public Relations Officer, Prince Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a post via his Twitter handle.<\/p>\n

Adejobi was responding to an allegation by a Twitter user @Commander, who claimed on Monday in a post via his Twitter handle that police operatives were setting people up at the traffic lights and collecting money at the said location.<\/p>\n

The complainant wrote that he fell victim on Saturday and had to pay N10,000 to the unidentified policemen after a negotiation.<\/p>\n

He had written \u201cDear Force pro @Princemoye1 the traffic police at federal housing kubwa(gado nasko road) are setting people up at the traffic lights and collecting money, I fell victim on saturday and had to part with 10,000 naira.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Adejobi responded, \u201cThis has been referred to the FCT command for necessary action, and they will revert. Thanks\u201d<\/p>\n
