The Command also recommended the dismissal of two Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASPs), Doubara Edonyabo and Talent Mungo, following their involvement in the extortion.

The trio had abducted the two men, believed to be businessmen, from Aba in the neighbouring Abia State and brought them to Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, where they forced them to transfer the said amount to the wallet of one of the officers.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, Grace Iringe-Koko, in a statement made available to newsmen in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, said the dismissal of the Inspector was the outcome of the Orderly Room proceedings.

Iringe-Koko stated that while Odey’s dismissal was reviewed and upheld by the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in-charge of Zone 16, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, AIG Alifa Omata, the recommendation for the dismissal of Edonyabo and Mungo, who had been queried, will be reviewed by the Inspector-General of Police and the Police Service Commission (PSC).
