The Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Ngozi Onadeko, has ordered an investigation into the allegation that some policemen extorted N150,000 from an up-and-coming artiste, Emmanuel Jesugbemi.

Recall that Jesugbemi’s grandma, Taiwo Ogunade, gave him the money to deposit in a bank for their house rent.
However, the policemen were said to have robbed him of the money and his phone in the Apata area of the state.
The 20-year-old also claimed that the policemen, who tagged him a fraudster, were led by one Badru Samson.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Adewale Osifeso, in a statement, said a panel set up by the police commissioner would bring the policemen to book.
Osifeso said, “The attention of the Oyo State Police Command was on Thursday, October 7, drawn to a one minute and 50 seconds video made by one Emmanuel Jesugbemi, alleging that he was, at gunpoint, robbed of his handset and cash to the tune of N150,000 by rogue police operatives, purportedly attached to the command around the Apata area, under Ido LGA.
“It is worthy to note that the command frowns on this serious misconduct and wishes to intimate members of the public that the matter was immediately escalated through an investigative inquiry set up by the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Police Command, CP Ngozi Onadeko, upon its receipt.
“Preliminary investigations have revealed that the alleged culprit identified by the victim does not serve under the Oyo State Command, but was rather in the jurisdiction on other yet-to-be-specified duties.
“Furthermore, investigations are in top gear to apprehend all the officers involved in the unpleasant actions of Thursday, October 7, for their various involvements, with the assurances of adequate sanctions meted out to all guilty parties upon recommendations from the investigation panel.
“The command sues for calm while appealing to members of the public that no offender(s) will on any account be indulged to evade deserved justice regardless of status or affiliations.”
