The Osun State Speaker of the House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun, has expressed displeasure at some policemen extorting money from passengers in the state.
Goldennewsng reports that a viral video online shows some police officers covering their faces as a voice in the background claims they were extorting money from youths.
According to him, the speaker collected back the money from them, and he was also seen in the video urging the youths to make a video of the police officers.
The illegal act of police officers extorting money from people is no longer new, which many netizens pointed out while reacting to the video.
