Police Officer Caught Negotiating N25,000 Bribe On Camera Has Been Dismissed

Remember the police officer that was caught negotiating bribe on camera? In case you missed it, you can see it HERE. Yea...the shameless officer has been dismissed.

His name is Chris Omeleze and who was caught on video camera demanding a bribe of  N25,000 from a motorist....and so the policeman, who was attached to the State Traffic Division, Ikeja, was arrested on Tuesday after the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, saw the video which went viral on the Internet.

It was learnt that the Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko, ordered that the sergeant should face an orderly room trial.

A panel of policemen found the sergeant guilty of misconduct and recommended him for dismissal which the CP approved immediately.

The sergeant, however, said his ordeal was the handiwork of the devil.

Omeleze, with Force number, 192954, was given a dressing down at the CP’s office on Wednesday.

He said, “I regret the incident, I have  served in the police for 21 years.”

The state command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said the police were disappointed with the sergeant’s unprofessional behaviour.

She said, “The video was well detailed and we were able to locate the sergeant. The video was enough evidence and after facing an orderly room trial, he was dismissed.

“The police will not condone such behaviour and members of the public are advised to always report such cases.”

This man is now the scapegoat....what about the other officer Wasiu  that he called? What about the Oga at the other end, that was supposed to book the jeep? Police and their corruption.
