Police Headquarters in Abuja has condemned its officers seen in a viral video collecting ₦5,000 bribe each from Chinese nationals, describing their conduct as unprofessional and unethical.
The video, which has been widely circulated on social media, sparked widespread criticism from the public and prompted an immediate response from police authorities.
A statement issued by Force Headquarters Public Relations Officer Olumuyiwa Adejobi stressed that the actions of the officers are inconsistent with the core values and ethical standards of the police.
“The Force has zero tolerance for such unprofessional behavior and other forms of misconduct, which undermine public trust and confidence,” he said.
“The officers captured in the video have been identified and are currently undergoing disciplinary procedures.”
Force HQ described the move as part of a broader commitment to ensuring internal accountability and reinforcing public confidence in policing.
It cautioned individuals and organisations that make use of police personnel – particularly for escort and guard duties – against engaging in acts that may demean or compromise the integrity of officers or tarnish the image of the institution.
It reiterated its commitment to upholding professionalism, transparency, and discipline across all levels, warning that any form of misconduct will not be tolerated.
