Commercial motorcyclists in
Ogwashi-Uku community of Delta State have withdrawn their services from Azagba
village, Ogwashi-Uku road over alleged cases of police extortions.
The road leading to the Delta Polytechnic,
Ogwashi-Uku was yesterday deserted by many commercial motorcyclists, who
complained of high extortion by police operatives on the road.
The development left many students
of the Polytechnic, who lived in Azagba and Iselle-Azagba villages, stranded as
they depended on the cyclists, being the major source of transportation on the
route.
Representing commercial cyclists,
Uche Ezendu, said that some of them were forced to withdraw their services
yesterday due to alleged ”high rate of extortion by two police patrol teams”
stationed on the road.
The spokesperson of the Delta Police
Command, DSP Andrew Aniamaka, when contacted on phone, said that the command
would investigate the allegations and take necessary action against any officer
found extorting motorists.
