There are worrisome issues among operatives of the Rivers State Police Command over the alleged extortion of over N100 million from a suspect arrested for cybercrime.

Operatives of the state police command had, based on information of alleged cybercrime, arrested Mr Atubi Davison in Port Harcourt and recovered over N100 million from his ceiling.

It was learned that the larger part of the money recovered was in dollars while the remaining was in naira.

Our correspondent gathered that the suspect, Davidson, was arrested on suspicion of being an internet fraudster, but a source had claimed that the suspect was one of the major contractors in the pipeline surveillance contract.

It was learned that based on the development and the resultant exposition of the matter, there is panic and disagreement among the police hierarchy in the state.

A Police source, who did not want his name mentioned, said the senior officers of the command, the Assistant Commissioner of Police in Charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department, and the Commissioner of Police in the state have been in rounds of meetings on how to stop the issue from festering.
