I bet you if 99% of Nigerians were to be walking around with head cams,there would be no more Nigerian policeman by the end of the day cuz the level of corruption within the NPF is unimaginable
The issue is that body cams are expensive for most to buy. Some don't even know how to operate it. If it was mandatory on the other hand, it would definitely help in preventing such unethical behaviors.

A traveler has shared an encounter with a Nigerian police officer who demanded a bribe despite the suspension of the Electronic Central Motor Registry (e-CMR) policy. The incident occurred along the Benin By, where the officer reportedly asked the travelers to either pay ₦5,000 or provide 5 litres of fuel.
This happened despite the recent suspension of e-CMR enforcement, as previously announced by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP).
You may recall that the Nigerian Police had earlier announced that enforcement of the controversial e-CMR would begin on July 29, 2024. Under the policy, vehicle owners without the e-CMR would have faced sanctions.
However, the announcement was met with widespread criticism. The Nigerian Bar Association even issued a one-week ultimatum, demanding that the police reverse the decision.
In response to public outcry, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, ordered the immediate suspension of the proposed enforcement originally scheduled for July 29.
In the now-viral video shared by the traveler, the police officer is seen ignoring the travelers’ pleas and openly demanding a bribe of ₦5,000 or 5 litres of fuel from those without the e-CMR. The footage later shows the travelers handing over cash, which the officer takes and carefully counts.
During the exchange, one of the travelers asked the officer, “What’s the problem?” The officer replied, “e-CMR.” The traveler responded, “e-CMR is illegal,” to which the officer said, “You can make a call.” The traveler replied that he had no one to call and then asked the officer what he wanted them to do. The officer answered, “5 litres of fuel.”
The traveler pointed out, “There’s no fuel station around here. Where do you expect us to get the fuel?” The officer replied, “You can just go and get it.” Realizing the officer was asking for money, the traveler asked, “How much is 5 litres of fuel?” The officer responded, “₦5,000.”
The travelers pleaded to pay ₦3,000 instead. One of them explained that they were returning from their grandmother’s burial and that ₦3,000 was all they could afford. The officer, however, showed no interest in their story.
As the video continues to circulate widely on social media—especially on X (formerly Twitter)—many Nigerians have expressed outrage over the officer’s actions and called for ability.

Guys educate me on the necessary car papers I need to have. I want to buy a car on my birthday and I don't want police wahala. My online hustle has finally paid off. Started in 2020 during COVID locked down.
Also tell me best car for a lady. I'm eyeing that Benz that have tortoise back. I don't know how much sha.
The most important is driving licence. Then vehicle licence, road worthiness, proof of ownership, insurance , vehicle registration( plate number), and some cash with you always because no matter what police must extort you.
This policeman is a gonner him face show fully he will be apprehended before the end of the day
Naim them go use do scapegoat
But that won't stop bribery and corruption In police,
Lol 😂 Nigeria police being suspended because of bribe? 😂 Their Ogas at the top are aware and they submit percentage to them.
They'll only be suspended on camera, go home to relax for a month and return to work on transfer.
The only crime Nigeria police can truly be suspended on his murderer or caught in robbery.
I'm telling as a police son who has spent half of my life in barracks.
They ll suspend you on media with camera, then oga send you home to go rest for a month or 3. Months if you're not in oga sweet book.
Even those that killed innocent people, some can be call back after a year or 2, if they have connections. Your case will be fought as "An accidental discharged"
If they were truly being suspended you think police would still risk taking bribes knowing camera is everywhere in this era?
I knew it will be Edo State. If you get that one and you drive a car with Lagos Registration number he will ask you for INFORMATION REQUIRED. I drive through Edo State nearly every month and you can't imagine stupid things they ask from private car owners. But I think the new CMR has been approved, go to https://cmris.npf.gov.ng/ It's 5k plus remitta charges of around N350. Individuals can do it on their phone without assistance.

Spy cam aren't that expensive, you can get with budget of 15-30k
Am just wondering what he will tell is wife and children that he did to make the Nigeria police force to sacked for this illegal extortion of money from motorist.

True talk
And that unfortunately is the reason why bribery and corruption can't stop in Police even if you pay the least policeman 10million naira monthly, it's a systemic problem
I kuku get the e CMR only say most officer no even wetin e look like, na so one stop me the other time asking for papers, i gave him the documents, e-cmr was the first one he saw, he come dey ask 'oga wetin be this paper,I look am saying no be police you be , shebi na e cmr be that we your IG talk say make everybody get...omo shame catch the officer he just say make i dey go before he see another paper wey go add to him wahala.
Too many people complain and do nothing about it. This person did . Almost everyone has a phone .... from the time one sees the Policeman ...the phone should be set up to record and concealed. Post video and location on SM and more likely action will be taken.
MaziObinnaokija:
.. He gladly collected his final retirement benefits
What if he says he was looking for drugs inside those notes as some people now hide coke inside it? . You can't catch them in the game. Worst case they'd suspend him and you'd never know when he'd be recalled. They're all the same

You mean the eCMR has been approved and enacted by the national assembly
Shellsploit:

Port8080:
This one has successfully dismissed himself!
All his colleagues in that checkpoint will deny him.
But what kind of camera did the enger use that the police didn't even notice?
Most Nigerian police officers are illiterate and can barely string 2 sentences together
From the video the man clearly used his phone
My guess is that the policeman was intoxicated

Nd if at all dy ar caught wats d judgment frm dr boss ar d top?? Most of dis dismissal ar audio because if drs a capital punishment dts visible it will reduce to minimal…. Dr should be a general independent ppl dt will go round nd see how police behave in sm places nd action should be taken openly dn ppl can av rest of mind…
