The Anambra State Police Command on Wednesday said it had begun questioning the policeman attached to one of its divisions in Onitsha, caught on video demanding a bribe of N10, 000 from a motorist.
The Public Relations Officer of the command, Emeka Chukwuemeka, who spoke with our correspondent on the telephone, said the outcome of the investigation would be made public as soon as it was concluded.
Chukwuemeka, a deputy superintendent of police, said the way and manner the video was shot made it easy for the authorities to identify the policeman in question.
The police spokesman, who assured the members of the public that the policeman in question would be made to face the full wrath of the law if found guilty, said the police would never condone any acts of corruption.
He said, “His identity was clearly revealed in the video that went viral on the Internet. An in-house investigation has since started and when we conclude this, we will make the outcome public. It is noteworthy that the Nigeria Police Force remains one of the few organisations in this country that punishes one of its own whenever they err.”
