On July 10, 2023, an admissions seeker laments Osun policemen’s extortion of N20,000.

A confirmation searcher, Sodiq Oladebo, who was heading out from Osun State to Benin, Edo State, on Monday, blamed cops connected to the Osun State Police Order of blackmail to the tune of N20,000 along the Ilesa Interstate region of the state.

The incident occurred after the Sienna in which Oladebo and other passengers were traveling was stopped by police at an expressway checkpoint.

After that, the police searched their bags.
Talking with our reporter on Monday, Oladebo said the N20,000 was essential for the cash he was to use to buy an Interval Joint Registration Board structure to handle his induction into a college.

He stated, “We were going to Benin, Edo State, from Old Garage Park in Osun State.” The officers slowed down our vehicle. They checked the front passenger and later asked me to get out of the car to check my luggage.

In a conversation with our correspondent on Twitter on Sunday, Oladebo’s brother Suleman demanded a refund of the money, stating that the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, had promised to contact him, but no one had.

A screen capture of the receipt of the exchange got by our reporter showed N20,000 moved to the Joy Venture at 11.34am on Saturday.

Adejobi directed our correspondent back to the Osun Police Command when contacted for a response.
