The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered the Provost of 1 Police Mobile Force (MOPOL) in Kaduna and DSP Aliyu Adejembi, along with his team, to appear for questioning following the circulation of a video showing them lined up to receive cash handouts from Chinese businesspeople.
A video circulated on social media on Tuesday,14th April, 2025 captures members of the unit visibly queuing to collect money from the Chinese individuals, a scene that has sparked public outrage and raised concerns over police conduct.
Reports say officers from MOPOL 1 were in Lagos on special duty with the Chinese nationals when the incident occurred.
A signal obtained by SpyeTV News dated April 15, 2025, reads: “Order and directives.
