Corrupt Police officer dismissed

A Sergeant in the Nigeria Police Force - Chris Omeleze (Police Force number 192954), attached to the Lagos State Motor Traffic Division, MTD who was caught on video demanding a bribe from a motorist has been dismissed after a 'Police Orderly Room' trial.

The Sergeant had arrested a motorist for contravening traffic rules and demanded for the sum of N25,000 from the motorist to allow him release the motorist. But the motorist offered the sum of N2000, pleading that he had only N500 on him, an offer the policeman bluntly refused.

The negotiation was recorded on video which went viral on social media, prompting the Inspector-General of Police to direct the Lagos State Police Command to fish out the policeman and carry out an orderly room trial on him.
