one of its divisions in Onitsha, caught on video demanding a bribe of N10,000 from a motorist.
"His identity was clearly revealed in the video that went viral on the Internet. An in-house investigation has since started and when we conclude, we will make the outcome public. It is noteworthy that the Nigeria
Police Force remains one of the few organisations in this country that punishes its own whenever they err.
“Corruption is bad and anybody caught in the web of corrupt practices will be punished in accordance with our statute books.
"All acts of corruption are condemnable and we will never condone it. Corruption is evil. We appeal that nobody condones it."
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Emeka Chukwuemeka, told Punch on the phone.
In the 3minutes video which has since become an Internet sensation, the man in uniform was seen seated in the front seat with the driver demanding N10,000 bribe after he had observed some discrepancies between the vehicle particulars and its chassis number.
Several appeals by the driver who was coming from Akure, Ondo State, to Umuahia, Abia State, before he was stopped in Onitsha, fell on deaf ears.
