A policeman attached to one of the police stations in Ondo
town, Ondo State allegedly pulled down a nursing mother and her son down from a
moving motorcycle, while struggling to extort N100 from a commercial
motorcyclist.
A team of anti-crime police officers in the town allegedly
mounted a road block in one of the major roads. One of the officers, in an
attempt to stop the Okada rider, pulled down the boy and mother, while the
motorcycle was in motion.
Mother and child were rushed to the hospital, while
commercial motorcycle operators staged a peaceful protest to show their
displeasure over alleged incessant extortion by policemen in the town.
They reportedly protested to all the three divisional police
stations in the town. Spokesman of Okadamen, Timilehon Akinrolabu, condemned
the attitude of the policemen, who he said were in the habit of extortion at
illegal road block in strategic locations in the town.
