Osun Assembly Speaker busts armed policemen extorting youths via bank transfer at check point(VIDEO)
Adewale Egbedun, the speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, stepped in to save a group of young people who were allegedly being forced into paying ransom by armed police officers at a checkpoint in the state.
The Speaker’s altercation with the police officers was captured on film, which quickly went viral on social media and brought attention to the problem of police misconduct.
The Speaker’s forceful interaction with the security guards stationed at the checkpoint is captured on camera.
The Speaker’s presence and the surrounding audience clearly caused the police officers anxiety, and they made an effort to cover 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.
