The Nigeria Police Force has identified and summoned a group of officers seen in a now viral video extorting motorists.
The video, which made the rounds on Monday, captured the moment a police officer demanded either ₦5,000 or five litres of fuel from motorists who were unable to provide proof of Electronic Central Motor Registry.
Speaking on the incident, the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, condemned the behaviour in a statement posted on X.
He wrote: “This action is utterly condemned. The officers have been identified and summoned to Force Headquarters for necessary action.
“We will not tolerate any act of indiscipline or unprofessionalism. We will update the public on our decisions as soon as possible. Thanks.”
