The spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, ACP Benjamin Hundeyin, has responded to a viral video showing a police officer allegedly asking a German traveler, Clement, for money while he was in transit.
Clement who is heading to South Africa by road, passed through some checkpoints in Nigeria.
In a video recording, Clement showed how many of the police officers he came across greeted him warmly and asked him to continue his journey.
Some even offered him prayers when they came in contact with him. However, one of the officers who he encountered at one of the checkpoints spoilt the trail when he asked Clement to give him money.
‘’Give me dollars. We want to buy fuel'. You are to give us money. We are providing service, safety on the road.' the officer asked
Clement immediately informed him that the government pays him salary and so he shouldn't be asking him for money.
Reacting to the trending video, Hundeyin praised the other officers who were professional and did not ask for money and went on to point out that there will always be one judas who will misrepresent a group.
