Egbetokun summons Kaduna MOPOL team in viral video receiving money from Chinese
The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has summoned the Provost of 1 Police Mobile Force (MOPOL), Kaduna and DSP Aliyu Adejembi, along with his team for questioning following the circulation of a video showing them lined up to receive cash handouts from Chinese nationals.
The video shows members of the unit in a queue collecting money from the Chinese individuals, a scene that has sparked public outrage and raised concerns over police conduct.
Reports said that the officers from MOPOL 1 were in Lagos on special duty with the Chinese nationals when the incident occurred.
A police wireless message dated April 15, 2025, reads: “Order and directives. Professional misconduct x discreditable conduct x eye respectfully convey INGENPOL directive x that you warn x release x Provost 1 PMF Kaduna X to come along with DSP Aliyu Adejembi X and team X to interview INGENPOL X through PRESSFOR X unfailingly x on Wednesday 16/04/2025 X at 0900HRS X eye repeat X on Wednesday 16/04/2025 X at 0900HRS X treat as very important please.”
The video, which was first shared in a Chinese Whatsapp group before it went viral, has raised questions on the relationship between Nigeria’s law enforcement agents with foreign nationals, especially the criminal elements, who breach the country’s laws with the connivance of those expected to keep them in check.
