The Nigeria Police Force has confirmed the arrest of one of the officers who brutalised and extorted N3million from a Ghana returnee in Bayelsa State.







The police also confirmed that the extorted N3million had been recovered.





The Spokesperson for the police Zone 16 in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, SP Gunn Ewhoborwo Emonena, confirmed to newsmen on Saturday that "the team leader has been arrested and the money had been recovered and he has been sent to Abuja for further action."






He added, "He's in Abuja for trial, dismissal and charging to court. We the Nigerian police, we're the only organisation that disciplines our own. As I talk to you he's in Abuja; he has been moved to Abuja since Wednesday."





This comes after one Liberty Isaac Kelechi raised an alarm that he was brutalised and robbed of N3million at gunpoint by five policemen on duty in Bayelsa State.






Kelechi alleged that the five policemen at a checkpoint in Bayelsa stopped his vehicle and brutally compelled him to transfer N3 million to two different accounts they provided.





It has been reported that narrating his ordeal in a viral video, Kelechi said he was travelling to Imo State with others on August 26, 2024, when five policemen on duty at a checkpoint seized their phone and compelled him to transfer N3 million to them in two separate accounts, operated by a virtual bank, moniepoint.





He further alleged that the law enforcement officers threatened to kill them if he would not transfer the said money.
