Nigeria Police Force has said the phone call the officer made while trying to collect bribe from a civilian is fake.
Continue to watch the video....
The officer, Chris Omeleze, was dismissed on Wednesday following the bribe he demanded from the civilian.
In the footage, an unidentified male motorist is seen pleading with Omeleze to accept N2,000 for a traffic offence but the sergeant blatantly refuses.
The sergeant, who is seen on the passenger seat, places a call to his superior on the telephone, saying the motorist’s car must be impounded for refusing to ‘Cooperate.’
The policeman, who is attached to the State Traffic Division, Ikeja, was arrested on Tuesday after the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, saw the video which went viral on the Internet.
It was learnt that the Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko, ordered that the sergeant should face an orderly room trial.
It was learnt that a panel of policemen found the sergeant guilty of misconduct and recommended him for dismissal which the CP approved.
The sergeant, who was close to tears, however said his ordeal was the handiwork of the devil.
Omeleze, with Force number, 192954, was given a dressing down at the CP’s office on Wednesday. He said he regretted his action, stressing that he had served in the police for 21 years.
