The orderly room trial on a Police Sergeant, Chris Omeleze, attached to the Lagos State Motor Traffic Division,MTD caught on video demanding for bribe from a motorists Tuesday, was concluded Wednesday.
Sources gathered that the Sergeant with Force number 192954 had been dismissed from the Nigeria Police Force, as he was reportedly found guilty at the end of the trial.
The Sergeant was reported to have arrested a motorist who was returning from the airport, for contravening traffic rules. He was said to have entered the vehicle, threatening to take the motorist who was with a female passenger to the station.

The motorist was said to have been taken to the entrance of the station where the Sergeant continued the negotiation, claiming that he was not the only one involved.
All entreaties by the motorists and the passenger who were said to be on their way to Ajah fell on deaf ears as the Sergeant insisted on N25,000.
Later that day, the video clip went viral on social media, prompting the Inspector-General of Police to direct the Lagos State Police Command to fish out the policeman and carry out an orderly room trial on him.
The video clip as gathered, was used during the trial where the Sergeant was said to have been dumb founded and appealed to be given a second chance.
When contacted on phone, spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, Ngozi Braid, confirmed the dismissal. She simply stated, “ Yes, he has been dismissed”.
Below is a transcript of the negotiation for a bribe between the dismissed police officer and the motorist. Enjoy:
Policeman: Once we enter this compound now(police station), I no go follow you talk
Motorist(pleading): I don’t have N25,000
Policeman: OK. Talk better thing now, make you go your way, make you go your Osborne
Motorist: (Protests again) I don’t have more than N2,000
Policeman: Ok (sighed). Oh.. (quiet)
Motorist: If you want to help me, must I pay N25k?
Policeman: I know sir, I know you cannot raise N25,000. But talk something reasonable
Motorist: (Female passenger) I told you I just got my ticket now. You want me to show you. My ticket is in the car.
Policeman: Wait now… What you are saying is very far… Add something reasonable to that. Make you go your way. I know there is no how you can raise N25k; a guy like you.
Motorist: Oga, a man like me… oga
Policeman: And moreover, I am not working alone. Look, if you enter this compound (police station), you will pay bigger money.
Motorist: You know I won’t stand on that ground and risk saying bigger amount when I don’t have. I don’t have…
Policeman: I am not working alone
Motorist: I don’t live here. I came here to collect something. I have N5000 on me. If I cannot at least… I’m going to
Ajah. I’m coming back to Airport tomorrow. How do you want me to do it?
Motorist (Female) I’ve told you .. should I show you my ticket?
Policeman: Wait… No be $50, $20 and other dollars dey with you?
Motorist: (Female): I have told you I’m paying for excess luggage. That was why I offered you…
Policeman: All that $50 dollars – you want to use for excess luggage… you dey speak grammar; by the time when speak (sic) no dey for two of us, you go see my own. Add something to that money.
Motorist: I don’ have
Police: You don’t have ….(sighed) pause…
Motorist: So you cannot help me because I cannot put small money to it….. to that N2,000 (silence for some moments)
Policeman: I have related to you like my own young brother, like friend…
Motorist: Have I not spoken to you like a man, to tell you what I have?
Policeman: if it is possible from that side.. you think I will still be inside here? (the car)
Motorist: You think I will waste my time here if I have more money?
Policeman: I’m not working alone, if I am, even if it is N1,000 I will collect from you and go.
(Policeman picks his mobile phone and calls a colleague named Wasiu and reports that the jeep car that he arrested is not ready to deal; that he should tell Oga to ‘book it’ “He told me N2,000”, he reported to the said Wasiu.)

He should be allow to face court of law, this is jungle justice. He is not the only one supposed dismissed, his partner 'Wasiu' and the Oga at the top that send them. Dear IG, the best way to treat this guy is fear hearing, he shoud not be dealt with alone if u are sincere in ur bid clean police of the corruption.
ReplyDeleteThis is a welcomed developement,but the accomplice in the crime should be dealt with too,Lagosian let's emulate this brave nigerian that did this to sanitise police force,Lastma,VIO lagos..
ReplyDeleteNEXT:LASTMA,VIO Lagos,I urge lagosians to emulate this young chap and expose the corruption in the above named places..Long Live the federal Republic of Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteThe most corrupt officials currently in Nigeria is the VIO Lagos.Especially the VIO in Yaba,opposite panti,They will catch vehicles and charge them 40k and immediately impound your car reason suspect fake drivers licence,meanwhile they will position their agents to come approach you so that you can pay the money to them to release the cars to you,instead of paying to the govt account.
ReplyDeleteAnother cheap shot at tackling corruption in Nigeria. Sacking this sergeant will not stop corruption in ASO rock; in the ministries and the private sector. If the head of the fish is rotten the whole fish is rotten, cut it off.
ReplyDeleteVery good one, but I must tell you guys, this would only make the police think ahead. I was stopped by some police men, and the first thing they did, was to seize all my phones and proceeded to extortion. I think the remedy to the corruption in the police force is more of internal than external.
ReplyDeleteAwww! Very nice1! Itz possible doe he gat no accomplice, he might J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊ƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇̇τ̣̣̥ be making †ђξ call as a threat! ℓ☺ℓ bur yh if there Ȋ̝̊̅§ a wasiu, D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ shud all be dismissed 2deter †ђξ rest! Awwwww tumbs up 2d wise guy!
ReplyDeleteHe is an escape goat, a small rat. Cutting the hand or leg of a rotten head does not mean much to me. I will ashame is the Police feels happy that they done enough by dismissing this police officer. Let them ask themselve some deep questions. The guy said he is not working alone...He made a call to one Wasiu to confirm. Look our Police is rotten.. The head must be cut off before sanity could be brought to the Police force.
ReplyDeletei am happy he was dismissed. all these useless police men, instead of doing their job they will focus more on how to collect bribe and extort people of their hard earned money.
ReplyDeleteIG please what of Wasiu, and the Oga at the top? I am sure DPO join. I said it b4, Class room training will not change the things you have as police officers. And mark my word the next thing now is for every station to start strategizing and educating it officers on how they can beat this kind of embarrassment.
ReplyDeleteThis is good, please we want more of this intelligence approach. kudos
ReplyDeleteThe Presidency should take notice of this matter and act immediately to dismiss all the culprits implicated in this corruption.
ReplyDeleteWasiu and the whole Police team at the checkpoint must be expelled. Dismissing the only Police officer caught on video is not enough.
The Presidency and Federal Government should take responsibility for applying correction now.
Well this is a second guess approach to solving the issue here. Everyone linked to this cartel wasiu,Oga ontop et Al.. should be brought to justice.. IGP pls take note
ReplyDeleteNa igbo man!!! Make una deport am comot from Lagos Ooº°˚˚˚°º .... Lol
ReplyDeleteThis is good but what about the man he called on the phone. What happened to him? They are accomplice and he should also be punished.
