Female police officer caught on camera collecting bribe

Female police officer caught on camera collecting bribe

Barely 2weeks after a police sergeant, Chris Omeleze, was dismissed after being caught on video demanding a bribe of N25,000, another footage showing a policewoman negotiating a bribe of N100 has surfaced on the Naija social media space. The video footage, which circulated on Monday, showed the policewoman sitting in a commercial bus which she had apprehended in Lagos. The driver and the conductor, at the yet-to-be identified location in Lagos, who had passengers in their bus, were seen making efforts to pacify the policewoman so that they could be allowed to continue with their journey; but their pleas went unheeded. Soon, the driver got infuriated and slammed the policewoman, saying, "Don't abuse me because of N100. How much is N100? Me I don pass N100." The policewoman replied, "E no concern me. Pay me my own money." When the driver realised that she was hell-bent on collecting the bribe, he asked his bus conductor to give her the money. "Give her N100. I will return it to you later," the driver said. As soon as the driver handed down the instruction, the policewoman alighted from the bus and walked towards the conductor. Just as the two were moving towards the back of the bus, a voice from the background lamented: "You pay for police, you pay for agbero." Once she collected cash the policewoman was seen with another female colleague walking away. The video, which was shot by someone sitting in the bus was later posted online.
