Nigerian Police Remove Delta DPO Christopher Udoh Over Corruption, Refund Extorted Money To ‘Good Samaritan’ Framed For Murder In Asaba
The Nigeria Police Force has removed and sanctioned the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of GRA Division, Asaba, CSP Christopher Udoh, following allegations of corruption, extortion, and abuse of office involving a civilian who acted as a Good Samaritan. The police also refunded money extorted from Tomi Akporoghene Wojuola, who was wrongly accused of murder after attempting to save a man who collapsed by the roadside in Asaba, Delta State.
Wojuola’s ordeal began in 2025 when he rushed an unconscious stranger to the hospital on medical advice, only for the victim to later die. Instead of being commended, Wojuola was detained, accused of murder, and allegedly threatened by the DPO, who reportedly mocked him for “acting like Jesus.” Despite confirmation from the deceased’s family that the man had an underlying medical condition, Wojuola said he was still extorted, leaving him with only ₦2,000 after police officers allegedly emptied his account as bail money.
Following public outrage and reports by SaharaReporters, the Delta State Police Command confirmed that CSP Udoh had been removed from his position and disciplined. The Command also ensured that the extorted funds were refunded to Wojuola, while the DPO was summoned to the Police Force Headquarters in Abuja for further questioning. The incident has reignited public concern over police misconduct in Nigeria and reinforced why many citizens fear assisting victims during emergencies.
