POLICE ON TRAIL OF BRIBE-TAKING OFFICER CAUGHT ON CAMERA SHORT-CHANGING COLLEAGUES

The policeman using Pidgin English and seen with rifle during the discussions with the motorist said, “out of the N15, 000, if I remove N10, 000, how much go come remain? N5, 000? No, e no go work?” Na wetin wey dey be dat!”

Penpushing further reports that, the motorist who is seen in the video holding out a wad of N1,000 notes in appealing to the policemen who sit beside him, to spare him that he cannot afford more than N15,000 said,“Oga, I can’t lie for you. Just consider me, please!”

 The video revealed further that, the policeman in response told the motorist, that the offer was too small, and fiddled with a mobile phone and  momentarily placed  to his ear, as though he wanted to make a call.

“You know wetin you go do eh?” This man wey I call, him money na N10, 000. The N5, 000, na him I go come tell my people? Complete that money N20k, so that….” “Me, I don tell you wetin I suppose tell you,” the officer quipped.

Penpushing also reports that, at a point, the gun carrying policeman instructed the motorist to slow down the car, and started negotiating to a fresh ‘deal’ on how to outsmart his fellow cops who were apparently expecting the bribe.

Hear him, “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”, while at this stage the motorist counted N10, 000 from the money, gave it to the policeman who went on to make a call, apparently to his superior and pleaded with him on behalf of the motorist.

Penpushing reports, that the video revealed that, the policeman lied in the phone conversation that the motorist gave him N5,000,adding, “How we go do for this guy, e no even get money!” he said on the phone.
