The Oyo State Command of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has ordered the immediate dismissal of two Special Constabularies working with the state command who were caught on camera demanding money from a Dutch female biker tourist who was touring African countries.

VerseNews gathered that the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Adebola Hamzat, on Thursday ordered immediate dismissal of the two constabularies identified as Jimoh Lukman and Kareem Fatai, for extortion.

The dismissed officers were paraded at the Oyo State Police Command, Eleyele, Ibadan, the state capital after the video where they demanded money from a Dutch tourist riding on a power bike from the Netherlands and headed to Abuja went viral.
