Quote:
''Upon the distress call, the Dpo Ibogun division csp Samuel Oladele mobilized his men and moved to the scene where they met the two men and got them arrested.
On interrogation, one of them confessed to being a dismissed policeman while the other one used to be an informant. They confessed further that they were passing through the area when they discovered that they don't have much fuel in their car and they decided to extort the owner of the hotel in order to get money to fuel the car.
Recovered from them are two forged police warrant cards.''Oyeyemi's statement read
