Is thunder about to strike twice in the same place in a space of two
weeks? Just as Nigerians were yet to fully absorb the show of shame by a
police sergeant, Chris Omeleze, who was recorded on video demanding
bribe of N25,000.00, another footage showing a policewoman negotiating a
bribe of N100 has surfaced on YouTube.
The video footage, about 1:24 minutes in length, was uploaded to
YouTube, a video-sharing website on Monday and showed the policewoman, a
yet-to-be identified corporal, sitting in a commercial bus popularly
called ‘Danfo’ at a yet-to-be identified location in Lagos.
From the not-too audible conversation, it appeared the policewoman
had apprehended the bus for an offence and sat inside with passengers
watching while she and the driver engaged in a shouting match.
She could be heard saying ‘na two ‘O’ clock I dey close’ suggesting
if the driver wanted to waste his time, she was more than willing to
oblige him.
The driver, who hinted that he had paid bribe money earlier got
infuriated and slammed the policewoman, saying, “I no give Kemi money
dis morning? Don’t abuse me because of N100. How much is N100? Me I don pass N100” to which the policewoman replied, “E no concern me. Pay me my own money.”
When the driver realised that the policewoman was adamant on
collecting the bribe, he asked his bus conductor to give her the money.
“Give her N100. I will return it to you later,” the driver said in
Yoruba language. As soon as the driver handed down the instruction, the
policewoman stretched her hand towards the conductor to collect the
money before she alighted from the bus and walked away banging the body
of the bus with the baton in her hand.
The video which was shot by a passenger in the back seat of the bus,
showed the policewoman rejoining her colleague, another policewoman.
