Police officer arrested in Imo for extortion after he was set up with marked N120k

The IGP Xsquad have arrested one Inspector Tom Edet of the Ihiagwa Division Police station Nekede in Imo State over N120,000 Extortion.

According to social activist, Prince Emefiele Harrison who shared the story online, Tom and two of his colleagues, Sergeant Bassey and Charity, currently on the run, arrested a young man from Delta state and detained him after he was unable to pay the N400, 000 they were asking for as bail. His family got in touch with Emefiele who runs Behind Bars Initiative.

Emefiele and his team including some policemen, decided to set the police officers up. They gave the erring officers N120, 000 that was marked, which they collected before releasing the young man who was in Imo on a visit.

I think we need more reasonable policemen like this in Nigeria
