A Business Woman, Anjola Owolabi, has accused an Assistant Commissioner of Police, Kadimiel Rmadayi, of extortion and harassment in Idi-Ope area of Oyo State.
PUNCH Metro gathered that when Rmadayi was posted as the Area Commander in Oyo town, Owolabi, who had been running her business in the town, paid him a courtesy visit.
The businesswoman said she offered Rmadayi some drinks and a N50,000 cash gift during the familiarisation visit.
Owolabi alleged that after a while, the area commander demanded more drinks and some money to repair his television set and a vehicle.
The businesswoman said she fell ill and was admitted for a month, adding that trouble started between her and Rmadayi when she could not pick or return his call due to her condition.
Owolabi said, “I operate a Lounge and Wines Store at Idi-Ope in Oyo State. I do extend my gesture to the police. So I visited the area commander, ACP Kadimiel Rmadayi, who was recently posted to Oyo town.
“I went with the drinks and the sum of N50,000 which he cheerfully acknowledged and we exchanged contact. Two weeks later, I received a call from the ACP that he needed some drinks and I brought it with the sum of N30,000.
“A week later, I received another call from the same ACP and said he needed to repair the television in his office and that I should repair it for him. I gave him the sum of N50,000.
“Few weeks later, the ACP called to complain that his drinks had finished and I still brought drinks for him. A week after, he called and complained that the Hilux van he was using was faulty and that he needed my assistance to fix. I magnanimously gave him N50,000 to repair the said vehicle.”
Owolabi, who said she was not doing anything illegal, explained that she was giving the area commander the money and drinks to prevent policemen from raiding her lounge and store.
