JUST IN: Four police officers face trial in Imo for bribery

The Imo State Police Command has commenced an Orderly Room Trial of four officers caught in a viral video extorting money from a Content creator by name Young C.

Young C in the video had tagged the Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun and activist, Very Dark Man, narrating bitterly how operatives of the Command’s Anti-Narcotics Unit and the State Criminal Investigation Department attacked, brutalised and maltreated him and his crew.

Reacting to the allegation, the Imo State Commissioner of Police, Aboki Danjuma on Tuesday directed the Assistant Commissioner of Police overseeing the IGP X squad to conduct thorough investigations into the allegation and assured the general public that those found culpable will face appropriate disciplinary actions according to the Forces guidelines.

However, in a short message by the Commands Spokesperson, Henry Okoye on Thursday, the command has commenced an orderly room trial on four of the officers involved in the allegation.
