The police say they are
investigating a video in which an alleged officer is seen extorting commuters
using a point of sale (POS) machine.
In the 44 seconds video shared by
a Twitter user @MarshallKacy, a man can be heard arguing with the officer that
he would not make his ATM card available.
Reacting to the video on Friday,
the police, through its verified Twitter handle @policeNG, said they have
commenced investigation “to unravel the authenticity of the video”.
They asked any person with useful
information to reach out to them and assist in the investigation.
“The @policeNG has commenced
investigations to unravel the authenticity of the video, location of incident and
identity of persons captured in the viral video where some persons in police
uniform were captured, allegedly with POS machine and demanding ATM card from a
member of the public,” the police said.
