The Minister of Interior, Hon. (Dr.) Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has ordered an immediate investigation into allegations of extortion involving officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC). 

The officers, according to a viral post, allegedly extorted ₦5.2 million from a group of young men traveling from Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State to Akure, Ondo State. 

In a statement signed by the minister’s Special Adviser on Media, Babatunde Alao, the Minister noted that any officer found guilty will face the full weight of the law. 

“We will not tolerate any form of misconduct from our security agencies.

“In this case, we will see that justice is upheld and ensure that security personnel serve with forthrightness,” he said.
