‎FCT CP to Officers: Stop Extorting or Quit the Force

‎The Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Ahmed Sanusi, has issued a stern warning to police officers against extorting commercial tricycle (Keke) riders, motorists, and other residents while carrying out their duties.
‎
‎Speaking during a strategic briefing on ongoing security and traffic enforcement operations in Abuja on Saturday, the newly appointed FCT Police Commissioner declared that the command would no longer tolerate officers involved in extortion or other forms of misconduct.
‎
‎Sanusi said complaints from members of the public over police extortion had reached an alarming level, stressing that any officer found engaging in such acts would be identified and removed from the command.
‎
‎”You cannot be both a police officer and a thief. We don’t want to hear any reports of officers extorting Keke riders or motorists in Abuja. If we receive such reports, you are a thief, and you will be removed,” he warned.
‎
‎The police commissioner reaffirmed the command’s commitment to restoring public confidence in the Nigeria Police Force by promoting professionalism, accountability, discipline, and respect for the rights of residents across the Federal Capital Territory.
