The Senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Tolu Odebiyi, on Thursday, alleged that security agents were harassing and extorting money from his constituents.
Odebiyi said since the nation’s borders were closed on the orders of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , there have been cases of alleged extortion and harassment of people residing in the border areas by some security agents.
The Senator noted that the continued closure of the borders had inflicted on the people so much hardship. He said, “While some of our security agents in the country have demonstrated a very high and commendable level of professional competence, unfortunately, the professional conduct and sense of commitment to duty of officers in the border areas should be called to question in the face of their inappropriate, unwholesome and unacceptable behaviour.
