The Lagos State police command has interrogated three officers for allegedly extorting N1 million from members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in the Surulere area of the state.
This followed the release of footage of the encounter by one Oluyemi Fasipe on his X handle on Friday.

“Their offence was the absence of a physical copy of a driver’s license. This is evil!”
