The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed that Point of Sale (PoS) operators regularly operate around police stations in the state to help police officers extort innocent Nigerians.
In a Twitter thread on Saturday, Benjamin Hundeyin, spokesperson of the command, said the presence of these operators help some errant police officers in their illegal activities.
His statement confirms what sources had told FIJ in several reports of extortion suffered at the hands of police officers.
Hundeyin’s tweets read, “It has been observed overtime that some roving PoS operators specialize in hanging around police stations. Investigations reveal that their target customers are innocent Nigerians being extorted by some recalcitrant police officers.
