The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has reacted to the allegations of N500,000 extortion levelled against his operatives by Alife coach and motivational speaker, Solomon Buchi.

Speaking with People’s Security Monitor on phone this afternoon, the Spokesperson of the Command, DSP Adeh Josephine said the allegations as dispatched to FCT Police Command are still being investigated, and that all the parties would have to wait until investigations are concluded.

It will be recalled that Solomon Buchi had accused some operatives of the FCT Police Command of assault and extortion of N500,00 from him after he along with his kid brother were labelled as criminals and IPOB members.

Buchi said, “I and my kid brother were kidnapped by the police in Abuja around Wuse 2 couple hours ago, after eating. They swiftly double-crossed our bolt ride, brought out guns and asked us to follow them into their car which wasn’t a police vehicle.

Long story short, they took our ATMs and withdrew N500,000 out of N617,000 that I had in my account. They withdrew my kid brother’s N50,000. I begged them that it was my upkeep money for my stay but they went physical on me, slapped me and asked me to use the N117,000 for myself.

“By the way, they stopped at a junction, and one took off his police uniform and went to withdraw the money using a POS! They also wanted to transfer our crypto. Man, I can’t even talk. I’m traumatised. After everything, they drove us back to town.

“They looked for a dark place, unlocked the handcuffs and gave us our phones and cards. They took my new AirPods and valuables. Phew. This wasn’t the plan at all. I felt so invaded and highly abused.”
