An inspector of the Nigerian Police Force attached to the Federal Special Anti-Robery Squad (FSARS), Charles Omotosho, has been dismissed for extorting N5,000 from road users in Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
His dismissal came three months after a resident of Ikorodu, Princess Ife had tweeted on May 16 claiming that the officer threatened to shoot at her and others, except they paid a ‘ransom’ of N5,000.
“With my encounter today, it is safe to say SARS are armed robbers. Was going for a shoot in Ikorodu today and armed member of SARS pulled us over and made us pay for no reason.
“Threatening they were going to waste our lives. I made a transfer so that they can be traced,”
her tweet read.
The PCRRU tweeted on Friday that the Assistant Inspector General of Police Zone 2, Lagos, Ibrahim Adamu, has approved the dismissal of Mr Omotosho.
