The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has ordered an immediate investigation into the alleged extortion of N5.2 million by officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.

The directive follows a viral social media post accusing some NSCDC personnel of extorting the sum from a group of young men who were reportedly travelling from Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, to Akure, Ondo State.

Tunji-Ojo, in a statement released on Tuesday by his media aide, Babatunde Alao, expressed strong condemnation of the alleged misconduct.

He added that the government would not tolerate indiscipline among paramilitary personnel.

“We will not tolerate any form of misconduct from our security agencies.

“We are building a paramilitary that is disciplined, professional, and serves Nigeria and Nigerians with a sense of dignity and patriotism. In this case, we will ensure that justice is upheld and that security personnel serve with forthrightness,” the minister was quoted as saying.

The Minister noted that any officer found guilty would face the full weight of the law, reiterating the government’s zero-tolerance stance on corruption and abuse of power within the security ranks.
