It's funny how corrupt policemen have the confidence to demand anything from people. This was a policeman caught in the act demanding dollars from a citizen for wearing a navy-like cargo pant.
The policeman now identified as Corporal Aniyem Chiyem was heard in the video saying "Arrange dollars. Give us dollars".
According to a press statement released this evening by the Nigerian police, Cpl Chiyem is currently undergoing Orderly Room trials and if found guilty will face appropriate disciplinary actions.
