Egbedun eventually ordered the policemen to return the money they had extorted from the youths. The policemen complied, and Egbedun then allowed them to leave. The incident has sparked outrage among Nigerians, who are calling for the arrest and prosecution of the policemen involved. The Nigeria Police Force has also condemned the actions of the policemen, and has promised to take disciplinary action against them.

This incident is just one example of the widespread problem of police extortion in Nigeria. Police officers are often accused of extorting money from motorists, traders, and other citizens. This problem has a negative impact on the security and safety of Nigerians, and it undermines public trust in the police.
