Motorists have lamented the return of some policemen who specialise in extorting motorists around the traffic light in the Isheri-Berger area of Lagos State.
The policemen said to be attached to the Isheri Police Station were said to have been carrying out their activities in the last three months.
After receiving a series of complaints from motorists who had fallen victim to the law enforcement agents, PUNCH had on June 28, 2022, investigated their activities.
Our correspondent noticed that the policemen targeted motorists seeking to connect from the Berger-Isheri Road to the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, using the old traffic light.
The publication that followed the investigation led to the removal of the policemen from the community by the immediate past state Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi.
However, the policemen have since returned to the spot to continue extorting motorists whom they usually accused of beating the traffic light.
A motorist, Sunday Oroleke, who fell victim to their antics recently said the leader of the group collected N 25,000 from him before releasing him.
