CEO of D-Hotel Cries Out: My Life Is in Danger for Exposing Police Extortion

My name is Alake Femi George , also known as Dammy 1. The Chief Executive Officer of D-Hotel, Ipetu Ijesa

I’m putting this out for the world to see because I’ve been receiving serious threats after I stood up for innocent people in town Ipetu Ijesa, Osun State. These are people who were arrested without cause and forced to pay huge amounts of money as bail—completely illegal. I also posted a video on Facebook, calling out how police officers in Ipetu Ijesa extort money from traders and residents during market days at checkpoints inside town.

Since then, instead of investigating the wrongdoings, I’ve been facing threats for speaking the truth.

So I want to make this clear: If anything happens to me, these three people should be held responsible:

CSP Oluwole Adebayo – DPO, Ipetu Ijesa Police 👮 division

Inspector Olaniyan Muili

The Oloriodo of Ipetu Ijesa, Mr Mayowa

I am also calling on the following authorities to take this matter seriously and investigate thoroughly:

*The Inspector General of Police*

*Commisoner of Police Osun State*

*Zone 11 AIG *

*Police Service Commission*

*National Human Rights Commission*

*Osun State Government*

*His Royal Majesty Ajalaye of Ipetu Ijesha*

*Former Chief of the Defence Staff of Nigeria Chief Oluseyi Petinrin *

*Fedral House Oriade/Obokun Rep. Hon. Busayo Oluwole Oke.*

*Civil Society and Human Rights Organizations*

*Media Houses and Journalists*

I only did what’s right—stood up for my people and asked that the law be followed. I am not safe at the moment, and I want the public to know what’s going on.

E- Signed,

Alake Femi George(Dammy 1)
