Policeman Seen With POS Machine On Highway, Demanding ATM Card From Nigerians [Video]

A Nigerian police officer was caught on camera with Point of Sale (POS) Machine demanding Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card from Nigerians to allegedly transfer money to his account.

In the now viral video, one of the passengers was heard telling the officer whose name is yet to be known, to take it easy with his ATM to avoid damaging it.

Another passenger was equally heard insisting that he would never hand over his ATM to the officer. The man argued that he has not seen a police officer in Nigeria demanding ATM card from civilians. He was heard saying:

“I will not give you my ATM. There is nothing on earth that would make me hand it over to you. I haven’t seen a police officer demanding ATM from people.”

Reacting to the viral video, the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu asked Nigerians to assist in the investigation that could help in unraveling the authenticity of the video.

“The Nigerian Police has commenced investigations to unravel the authenticity of the video, location of incident and identity of persons captured in the viral video where some persons in Police uniform were captured, allegedly with POS machine and demanding ATM card,” he said.

“The IGP condemns all acts of corruption by Public Servants, particularly Police officers and is committed to bringing to book any officer found wanting in this regard.

“Members of the public with relevant information that could assist Police investigators are enjoined to kindly DM Nigerian Police or furnish same via any of our confidential channels e.g pressforabuja@police.gov.ng.
