According to a report by FIJ, an online news platform, policemen attached to Harmony Squad, State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Kwara, harassed and extorted one James Karunwi, a forex trader, of N2m.

“He said he visited Ilorin two weeks ago, and was going to a market with a friend when a police patrol squad van accosted them.
