The Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Bright Edafe, has advocated for the investigation and legal action against individuals who cannot account for their sources of income.
Expressing concern over what he referred to as ‘suspicious wealth’ among individuals without clear means of income, Edafe highlighted the prevalence of kidnapping, ritual killings, and internet fraud in the country.
In a post on his social media handle on Sunday, the police spokesman emphasized that the police force instructed its operatives to act appropriately without resorting to using justifiable sources of income as a means to extort Nigerians.
However, Edafe asserted that individuals arrested and unable to justify their sources of income should undergo investigation and, if found guilty, be charged in court.
His words, “It is a very sad trend that people feel it’s wrong to question the suspicious wealth of persons who cannot lay claim to any justifiable means of income. We have cases of ritual killings, Kidnapping, and even internet fraud. We tell our men to do the right thing and not take it as an avenue to extort.
“However, any person arrested and can’t justify his source of income should be properly investigated and charged to court when the cockroach in his cupboard has been unveiled. Like me, hate me, I don’t mind, it’s the simple truth.”
