Nigerians Who Can’t Explain Their Source Of Wealth Will Arrested, Charged To Court – Police Warns

The Delta State Police Command has stated that individuals with suspicious wealth and unverifiable sources of income can be investigated and charged to court.

VerseNws reports that the state Police Public Relations Officer, Bright Edafe declared this on Sunday via his X handle.

Edafe emphasized that it is within the police’s authority to arrest and charge individuals who cannot justify their sources of income.

Edafe highlighted the prevalence of crimes such as kidnapping, ritual killings, and internet fraud in the country and urged law enforcement officers to conduct proper investigations without using it as an avenue for extortion.

He emphasized the need to address criminal activities and bring those engaging in illegal practices to justice.

“It is a very sad trend that people feel it’s wrong to question the suspicious wealth of persons who cannot lay claim to any justifiable means of income. We have cases of ritual killings, Kidnapping, and even internet fraud. We tell our men to do the right thing and not take it as an avenue to extort.

“However, any person arrested and can’t justify his source of income should be properly investigated and charged to court when the cockroach in his cupboard has been unveiled. Like me, hate me, I don’t mind, it’s the simple truth,” Edafe wrote on the microblogging platform.
