The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered the Provost of 1 Police Mobile Force (MOPOL) in Kaduna, and DSP Aliyu Adejembi, along with his team, to appear for questioning following the circulation of a viral video showing them lined up to receive cash handouts from Chinese business people.
It was learnt that the officers from MOPOL 1 were in Lagos on special duty with the Chinese nationals when the incident occurred.
A video in circulation captures members of the unit lined up to collect crisp N1,000 notes from the Chinese male and females, which has sparked public outrage and raised concerns over police and bank officials conduct who, though hord bank notes from ordinary customers, supply millions of crisp naira notes to top business men and political office holders.
