Following a report by PUNCH Metro, an admission seeker, Sodiq Oladebo, has been refunded the N20,000 extorted from him by men of the Osun State Police Command. I commend the Nigeria Police, especially the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, and the Osun State Command’s PRO for their efforts,” Suleman told our correspondent in a chat on Twitter. PUNCH Metro had reported on Monday that Oladebo, while travelling from Osun State to Benin, Edo State, on Saturday, was allegedly extorted by some policemen along the Ilesha Expressway. He said the incident happened after a Sienna vehicle in which he was travelling alongside others was stopped by the policemen. He said the policemen demanded N100,000 from him but he later paid N20,000 after he said he couldn’t afford the initial amount.
