Police in Ondo State arrest four officers following allegations of extortion captured in a viral video. Multiple outlets report that the incident involves police officers stopping and searching a motorist on the Lagos–Benin Expressway, where the officers are shown in the video allegedly demanding or receiving money during the encounter. The video circulates online and draws public attention to alleged unprofessional conduct by the officers during the stop-and-search. Authorities state that the arrested officers are being held as the case is investigated. The Punch reports that the Ondo State police command vows “zero tolerance” for such behaviour, indicating the matter will be handled through internal disciplinary or legal processes depending on findings. Premium Times similarly says the officers’ arrest is linked to the viral footage and the conduct shown during the roadside stop. The outlets do not provide details of charges or the identities of the officers, but they agree on the core points: four officers are arrested, the allegations relate to extortion, and the trigger is the widely shared video from the expressway stop.
