According to SaharaReporters, the development follows allegations that the commanding officers orchestrated a systematic extortion scheme targeting officers under their command. The source disclosed that the evidence prompted the police hierarchy to remove all six Commanding Officers and replace them with new commanders. “Last week, the six commanding officers were removed and replaced, while officers they used in collecting the extortion money were recommended for trial. “However, the commanding officers are now busy lobbying to ensure those officers are not prosecuted. But immediately after the payment, our Commanding Officers ordered that ₦70,000 must be returned from each officer.
