In a post via their verified X handle on Tuesday, the police in Rivers State said they had identified and arrested the officers involved in the alleged extortion and kidnap of the young man.

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.
