The Nigeria Police Force has identified and summoned a group of officers featured in a viral video extorting motorists.
The video, which circulated widely 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.
Responding to the incident, the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, condemned the behaviour in a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter).
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.”
