Police extortion: When you give bribes to avoid legal repercussions, you become an accomplice and contribute to the problem

The spokesperson of the Federal Capital Territory Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, has said that people who offer bribes to police officers are accomplices. 

“It’s strange that while we actively discuss police extortion, we often forget to mention that when you give to avoid legal repercussions or waive your rights, you become an accomplice and contribute to the problem. Reach out to FCT CRU on 09022222352 for any police excesses/abuse,” she stated in a post on Sunday, February 25. 

Recall that some police officers attached to the Special Tactical Squad in Abuja, were arrested a few days ago for extorting a member of the public of over N30m.
