Police officer Drags Mother, Baby down Okada over N100 in Ondo

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.
