“Having heard about the incident on social media, the commissioner of police; Mr  Edward Awolowo Ajogun, ordered the immediate arrest and detention of the officers involved in the dastardly act. The policemen were quickly identified and apprehended. 
 
“The money was recovered from them and returned to the victim. They were subsequently arraigned for departmental Orderly Room Trial (ODT),on three count charges of Corrupt practices, Discreditable conduct and Disobedience to lawful order.
