Anambra Police Deny Backing Extortion by Officers at Onitsha Bridge Head

The Anambra State Police Command has denied that alleged extortion by officers at the Onitsha Bridge Head reflects its policy or directives. The command said it was responding to social-media claims that some personnel in the area extort motorists and that senior officers benefit from the practice. It said extortion, corruption and other unethical conduct are not tolerated. Police spokesperson Tochukwu Ikenga said any officer found culpable after a credible investigation would face disciplinary action. Residents were asked to provide verifiable details, including the date, time, location, vehicle registration number and patrol team involved, when making complaints. The command said reports can be made through its Control Room, the Police Public Relations Officer or the Complaint Response Unit.
