The Adamawa State Police Command has ordered an investigation into allegations of arbitrary arrests, unlawful detention and bail extortion against the Divisional Police Officer of Jambutu Division.
The command made this known in a statement on Saturday on its X handle by its Police Public Relations Officer, Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje.
The statement followed a publication titled, “Adamawa Residents Demand Removal of Jambutu DPO Over Alleged Arbitrary Arrests, Bail Extortion.”
The command said it took the allegations seriously and had directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department, Hamzat Tambai, to conduct a thorough and discreet investigation.
“The Command takes the allegations seriously and wishes to state categorically that it does not condone arbitrary arrests, unlawful detention, extortion, or any form of professional misconduct by its personnel,” the statement said.
