Police arrest officers for ‘kidnap,’ extortion of Port Harcourt resident

The police in Rivers State, South-south Nigeria, say they have arrested some officers who allegedly kidnapped and extorted a resident in Port Harcourt.

On 8 September, a social media user, Uche Okoye, uploaded a video clip of a young man on his X handle (formerly Twitter).

The young man, simply identified as ‘Kay Persona,’ was heard in the clip narrating how some police officers allegedly kidnapped, locked him up in a police cell and forced him to pay a sum of money before being released.
