A sports journalist, Babajide Guerrero, has accused men of the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit, aka Task Force, of extortion.

Guerrero later told our correspondent that while he waited at Alausa, one of the officers approached him and demanded N50,000 while another N50,000 was demanded when he was taken to the agency’s head office at Bolade Oshodi.

“After that, another guy who wasn’t a police officer but worked with them said he had spoken to officer Adeyemi and he said I should pay N150,000. I asked him if they saw anything implicating in my car for me to pay such an amount. He said he would speak to the officer again; he later reduced the amount to N50,000.

“At Oshodi, I saw officer Adeyemi and confronted him since he was the one who told me to reverse but he was only laughing and did not say anything. That’s one of the coldest things that has happened to me in my entire adult life. When I was done, I had to pay N1,000 gate pass fee.”

They are rogues in uniform. One SP Orga team snatched my vehicle from me after wrongfully accusing me of forming double lane at Chinese in ojota. I later had to pay 4000 fine without issuing receipt to me, before my vehicle was released the 3day. end taskforce in Lagos.

Watin concern tax force 😂

No be new thing. I'd rather be surprised if he said they're not corrupt.
