The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has rejected concerns that the prompt dismissal of a police officer caught on tape asking for bribe, was too harsh.
Mr. Mohammed said he will not oversee a corrupt police, instead will continue to fight against corruption in the force.
He said apart from the regular warnings issued to the officers of the force, authorities have also deployed different strategies to discourage corruption in the service including staging officers up to test their ethical standards.

No it's not harsh at all. The dismissed policeman forcing the man to give him dollars and pound is harsh.

His dismissal should be a warning to others. Not just the police but all public office holders

Not too harsh but he shldn't av allowed himself to be caught

Serves him right,after 21yrs in service.

everybody is a thief? Yes

But eleven commandment says . . .

Thou shall not be caught - if them catch you - you go surfer like thief!

More officers to follow,my phone camera will catch many of such because its common here.
