Nigeria’s Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered the Provost of Police Mobile Force 1, MOPOL in Kaduna, DSP Aliyu Adejembi, along with his team to appear for questioning following the viral video showing them lined up to receive N5,000 cash handouts each from Chinese business people.
AIT.live gathered that the officers from MOPOL 1 were in Lagos on special duty with the Chinese nationals when the incident occurred.
In a viral video this Tuesday, members of the unit were visibly queuing to collect money from the Chinese individuals. The scene has sparked public outrage and raised concerns over police conduct and professionalism.
Consequently, a police wireless message obtained by AIT.live dated April 15, 2025, read:
