Barely 2weeks after a police sergeant, Chris Omeleze, was dismissed
after being caught on video demanding a bribe of N25,000, another
footage showing a policewoman negotiating a bribe of N100 has surfaced
on the Naija social media space.
The video footage, which circulated on Monday, showed the policewoman
sitting in a commercial bus which she had apprehended in Lagos.
The driver and the conductor, at the yet-to-be identified location in
Lagos, w ho had passengers in their bus, were seen making efforts to
pacify the policewoman so that they could be allowed to continue with
their journey; but their pleas went unheeded.
Soon, the driver got infuriated and slammed the policewoman, saying,
“Don’t abuse me because of N100. How much is N100? Me I don pass N100.”
The policewoman replied, “E no concern me. Pay me my own money.”
When the driver realised that she was hell-bent on collecting the
bribe, he asked his bus conductor to give her the money. “Give her N100.
I will return it to you later,” the driver said. As soon as the driver
handed down the instruction, the policewoman alighted from the bus and
walked towards the conductor.
Just as the two were moving towards the back of the bus, a voice from the background lamented:
“You pay for police, you pay for agbero.”
Once she collected cash the policewoman was seen with another female
colleague walking away. The video, which was shot by someone sitting in
the bus, has attracted outrage on the social media.
