Police officer interdicted over extortion
In a related issue, the Ghana Police Service interdicted two police officers after allegations that they extorted GH¢3,820 from a man riding on a motorbike.
The two officers have been identified as Lance Corporal Philimon Agbevem and Lance Corporal Peter Gbadagbo.
The police, in a statement, said the alleged incident of extortion occurred on July 22, 2024. The police also assured that the suspects would be subject to due process of the law.
The victim in the case made his claims in a video that went viral on social media. He claimed that despite reporting the incident to the Cantonments Police Station, no action was taken, prompting him to call for a thorough investigation.
He also claimed he was assaulted and threatened with death by the officers who stopped him.
