A viral video showing Nigerian police officers lining up to receive N5,000 each from a Chinese national has sparked national outrage and led to swift action from police authorities. The Nigeria Police Force condemned the officers’ actions, labeling them as “unprofessional and unethical.”
In a statement, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said, “The actions of the officers do not represent the established ethics, standards, and core values of the Nigeria Police Force.” Disciplinary proceedings have begun for the identified officers, although the specific sanctions were not disclosed.
The police warned against acts that could bring the force into disrepute and called for public support in its reform efforts. The incident has intensified calls for accountability and transparency within the police, with authorities pledging to uphold discipline and restore public trust.
