Nigeria Police Force, Friday, dismissed a former Police Inspector, Richard Gele, after being caught in a viral video dignifying and justifying extortion of members of the public.
The former Inspector, with AP/No. 188547, until his dismissal, was attached to Police Mobile Force 77 Squadron, Okene, Kogi, and deployed to the Itobe–Anyigba road for the safety of road users and commuters. This was the route where the incident occurred.
The dismissed Inspector, who hails from Benue, was enlisted into the Nigeria Police Force in September 2000.
