The Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has ordered an investigation into allegations of extortion involving some officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
The Minister’s Special Adviser on Media, Babatunde Alao, made this known in a statement on Tuesday, April 22, 2025.
A social media post that went viral alleged that some NSCDC officers extorted N5.2 million from a group of young men travelling from Ado-Ekiti, the capital of Ekiti State, to Akure in Ondo State.
The minister, however, stated that any officer found guilty would face the full weight of the law.

“On this case, we will see that justice is upheld and ensure that security personnel serve with forthrightness.”
