In Federal Housing Estate, Kubwa, FCT, Abuja, the police have confirmed that they are looking into allegations of corrupt behaviour by the traffic police.
The Force’s public relations officer, Prince Olumuyiwa Adejobi, made the announcement on Tuesday via a tweet on his Twitter account.
Adejobi was replying to the claim made by Twitter user @Commander, who on Monday alleged that police agents were setting up people at the traffic signals while extorting money there.
The complainant said that he was the victim on Saturday and that, following a negotiation, he was required to pay the unnamed officers N10,000.
He had written “Dear 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.”
However, Adejobi responded, “This has been referred to the FCT command for necessary action, and they will revert. Thanks”
