Drama as Osun Assembly Speaker busts armed policemen extorting youths via bank transfer at check point (Video)
The Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun, intervened to rescue a group of youths who were allegedly being extorted by armed policemen at a checkpoint in the state.
A video capturing the confrontation between the Speaker and the police officers has gone viral on social media, drawing widespread attention to the issue of police misconduct.
The video footage reveals the Speaker’s assertive confrontation with the security personnel stationed at the checkpoint.
The police officers, visibly discomforted by the Speaker’s presence and the surrounding crowd, attempted to hide their faces.
The Speaker’s entourage, equipped with smartphones, recorded the entire encounter, ensuring that every detail was documented for transparency and accountability purposes.
A voice in the background of the video can be heard explaining the disturbing practice of certain police officers collecting money from youths in the state through bank transfers.
This incident, however, marked a turning point as the Speaker’s intervention exposed the alleged extortion scheme, which had long gone unchecked.
Adewale Egbedun, visibly angered by the situation, not only confronted the police officers but also directed members of his entourage to ensure that every policeman on the team was recorded.
The intention behind this directive was to gather evidence that could potentially hold the officers accountable for their actions and shed light on the pervasive issue of police corruption.
