Policemen captured in a viral video receiving N5,000 in cash each from Chinese nationals are facing disciplinary action, says Force Headquarters.
Earlier this week, a viral video was seen that showed some police officers lined up to receive money from two Chinese nationals.
The police officers were smiling as the Chinese were dashing them N5,000k each.
When he appeared tired, the male Chinese handed over the bundle of money to a lady, who took over the sharing of the money with the smiling policemen, even as they were being filmed.
In a statement on Thursday, the Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi said the officers have been identified.
Adejobi said, “The force has strongly condemned the conduct exhibited by the police officers in the video, describing it as unprofessional and unethical.
“The actions of the officers do not represent the established ethics, standards, and core values of the Nigeria Police Force.
“The force has zero tolerance for such unprofessional behaviour and other forms of misconduct, which undermine public trust and confidence.
“The officers captured in the video have been identified and subjected to disciplinary proceedings.
“The Nigeria Police Force hereby cautions individuals and organizations privileged to the services of Police personnel, particularly as escorts and guards or other specialized services, to desist from any act capable of degrading the integrity of its officers and bringing the Force to disrepute.”
