Osun State House of Assembly Speaker, Adewale Egbedun, caught some policemen extorting money from youths in Osun state.
The speaker, who was on his way, saw the policemen collecting money from the youths and immediately ordered them to stop. He also ordered them to refund the money they had collected.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, the visibly angry speaker can be heard saying “Video all of them, video them.”
He said, “What kind of rubbish is that, do their video.”
“They stop the youth in Osun and collect money from the youth. They make transfers to the police and Mr Speaker is collecting back the money right away with immediate effect.”
The policemen, who were clearly embarrassed, tried to cover their faces from the camera.
Egbedun is a 38-year-old member of the Osun state house of assembly. He was elected speaker in June 2023.
