The police in Rivers State said on Thursday that cops, who allegedly extorted money from two undergraduates of the University of Port Harcourt in Rumuologu, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of the state, had been identified and would be punished.
The students had alleged that the policemen from the Eagle-Crack unit of the state command extorted N150,000 from them on allegations that they were Internet fraudsters.
One of the victims, who gave his name as Victor, said the officers accosted him and his friend when they went out to buy food around 11pm on Tuesday, February 16, 2021.
Victor, a final year student, said the officers forced them to withdraw the money from an Automated Teller Machine point after the policemen collected their mobile phones and threatened to take them to the EFCC or use machetes on them.
