The video received thousands of hits online, as Tomi Oladipo reports

A Nigerian policeman has been sacked after being caught on film apparently trying to extort $150 (£100) from a motorist accused of a traffic offence.

The footage - secretly filmed on a Lagos highway - received thousands of hits on YouTube and has been replayed on Nigerian television channels.

In the film, Sgt Chris Omeleze suggests he is part of a wider corrupt network.

But Nigeria's central police command insists otherwise. It sacked him less than a day after the video emerged.

Correspondents say being asked for money by traffic police for real or imagined traffic offences is a common experience for many Nigerians.

It is much rarer for perpetrators to be caught and penalised.

'Reasonable' sum
The film - which has received more than 123,000 hits on YouTube - shows Sgt Omeleze inside the car trying to negotiate a bribe with the driver.
