Nigerian Police Officer Demands Dollar Bribe From Americans In Lagos

Nigerian Police Officer Demands Dollar Bribe From Americans In Lagos

Yet another police officer has been filmed while negotiating a bribe. The incident apparently took place last week.

An American citizen was stopped at the Monument bank premises in Egbeda, Lagos, for wearing green cargo trousers – which is considered to be a military outfit.

The whole exchange was recorded secretly by what seems to be a camera disguised as an electronic cigarette.

In the almost four-minute long video, the yet-to-be-identified armed policeman demands more U.S. dollars from the Americans, even suggesting going to the currency exchange bureau himself to convert the naira to dollars.

The police officer had a rifle with him.

At some point in the video, he threatens to take the Americans to the police station should they refuse to pay: "Bring better thing, that one is not money, I don tell you finish o!" he can be heard saying.

The video has gone viral since it was posted on the Youtube video channel. Watch the whole clip below.
