The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) says officers who were
captured in a viral video receiving N5,000 in cash each from Chinese nationals
are facing disciplinary action.
On Tuesday, a video showing some police officers lining up
to receive the money made the round on social media.
The officers could be seen smiling while appreciating the
cash gift.
A plethora of Nigeria’s social media users described the incident as shameful.
In a statement on Thursday, Muyiwa Adejobi, force
spokesperson, said the officers have been identified.
Adejobi said their actions do not reflect the core values of
the force.
“The force has strongly condemned the conduct exhibited by
the police officers in the video, describing it as unprofessional and
unethical,” the statement reads.
“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.”
