Nigeria's top cop ordered several officers to report for questioning after they appeared to be taking cash from Chinese nationals. Police Chief Kayode Egbetokun directed DSP Aliyu Adejembi of the Mobile Police Force 1 and his team to come to headquarters following the viral incident. The officers were filmed standing in line to receive N5,000 handouts during their assignment in Lagos.
The video, which spread across social media on Tuesday, shows uniformed personnel collecting money from foreign businesspeople. This behavior sparked public outrage about police standards. An official message dated April 15 confirmed the summons and ordered officers to meet with the Inspector-General on Wednesday morning.
The message labeled the incident as professional misconduct requiring immediate attention. All involved officers must appear at 9:00 AM for the interview with leadership. The directive emphasized the serious nature of the situation through its urgent language.
