The Nigeria Police Force has warned individuals and organisations privileged to the services of its personnel against acts that could degrade the integrity of the force and bring it to disrepute.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Assistant Commissioner of Police Olumuyiwa Adejobi, gave the warning in a statement on Thursday.
He said the warning followed a video making the rounds in the media space showing police officers receiving money from a Chinese national.
ACP Adejobi said: “The Nigeria Police Force has taken cognisance of a disturbing video making rounds in the media space, showing police officers receiving money from a Chinese national.
“The force has strongly condemned the conduct exhibited by the police officers in the video, describing it as unprofessional and unethical.

He said the officers captured in the video had been identified and would be subjected to disciplinary proceedings.
