Rivers police crackdown on corrupt officers, arrests three

In a move to uphold ethical practices, the Rivers State Police Command has arrested three officers for engaging in corrupt activities.

According to a statement by the Command’s spokesperson, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, Inspectors Sarah Anendei, Caroline Promise, and Christiana Jatau were caught red-handed extorting money from innocent motorists under the Rumuokoro Flyover on October 29, 2024.

She explained that the operation, conducted by the Commissioner of Police team’s monitoring unit, began around 3 p.m.

Shockingly, she said, Inspectors Promise and Jatau were out of uniform while committing the misconduct, further violating police standards.

She said a mobile phone video captured the incident, providing irrefutable evidence.

During the on-site investigation, operatives recovered the extorted money from the officers, adding that they are now detained, awaiting disciplinary measures.
