Nigeria Police said it has started investigating a video in which a policeman could be heard asking a passenger to hand over his debit card. The police asked “members of the public with relevant information that could assist Police investigators” to contact their offices via email and via social media handles. The Twitter user who shared the video said the policeman had a Point of Sale (POS) machine with which he wanted to deduct a certain amount of money from the passenger’s account. The man was heard saying he had not seen where a police officer will demand the ATM card of a citizen. The police said the inspector-general Mohammed Adamu “condemns all acts of corruption by Public Servants, particularly Police officers and is committed to bringing to book any officer found wanting in this regard.”
