The Police  statement described the motorist as a “good citizen who courageously brought the inglorious act of the officer to the public domain”, adding that  the Inspector General of Police has asked the motorist to meet with the police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, to get back his money.

Penpushing recalled that  the bribe-taking  police sergeant inglorious act was  shared on Facebook and Twitter in a four-minute video where  apart from demanding and collecting the bribe from the motorist, went on to lie to his colleagues that he collected N5,000 and  pocketed N10,000 out of the N15,000 he illegally collected from the motorist.

The policeman was seen in the video telling the motorist, “this one, it is a secret I am trying to tell you. You will bring N10, 000 out of this money, give to that guy. You hear me? For there, you go tell them say na N5, 000 you give me.”

Penpushing also recalled that, the motorist counted N10, 000 from a wad of N1, 000 notes, gave it to the policeman who went on to make a call, apparently to his superior and pleaded on behalf of the motorist, but lied in the phone conversation that the motorist gave him N5, 000.

The rifle carrying policeman who was seen sitting beside the motorist in the car told his unseen colleagues on the phone, “How we go do for this guy, e no even get money!”
