A female deputy superintendent of police (DSP), attached to one of the divisions in Lagos State has been arrested for extortion. The woman, name yet not known, was said to be in the habit of
extorting money from commercial bus drivers.
There are speculations that someone wrote a petition to the Commissioner of Police, Mr Kayode Aderanti, over the DSP’s conduct. It was gathered that a team of policemen from the newly created CP Crack Squad, carried out surveillance for days and caught the DSP extorting money from the drivers.
The DSP is, however, not the only one in police detention. Also undergoing interrogation are two kidnappers, political thugs, among others. A police source said that 25 people had been arrested in the last two weeks for corruption, kidnapping and thuggery.
The suspects were nabbed in different areas of the state. Another police source said that the arrested kidnappers abducted a woman identified as Mrs Bashorun at Ajah. A team of investigators, led by Mr Igbinanazaka Ugowe, trailed the kidnappers to their hide out and rescued the woman.
It was learnt that on sighting the police vehicle, the kidnappers fled into a nearby bush on the Lagos-Epe Expressway. But policemen went after them and apprehended the two men. Similarly, two Bureau De-Change robbers and eight suspected thugs were arrested at Alagbado and Isokoko/ Agege areas. It was gathered that Aderanti gave the CP Crack Squad an order to flush out undesirable elements in the state. Last week, the Port Authority Police (PAP) in Apapa arrested five vandals. The policemen led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Bashir Abdulahi, swooped on the suspects.
