In a development that has captured national attention, the Nigeria Police Force has summoned and detained two officers in Imo State after a video alleging that they demanded N100,000 before filing a rape complaint went viral on social media. According to our sources, the officers — including the Divisional Police Officer at the GRA station and an investigating officer — have been ordered to report to the Force Headquarters in Abuja for questioning as investigations deepen.

The incident has prompted widespread outrage online, following a series of similar accountability actions in Nigeria’s police ranks, such as arrests over extortion and extortion-related misconduct reported in other states.

As public pressure mounts for reform and justice, this case is being closely watched by human rights advocates and Nigerians alike, underscoring growing demands for transparency and integrity in policing.
