A video showing Nigeria Police officers at a checkpoint attempting to extort money from a traveler along the Lagos–Sagamu Expressway has drawn public backlash. In footage lasting about 2 minutes and 34 seconds, an officer demands “money” from the passenger. The traveler says he is a resident of Akure. During the exchange, the officer makes discriminatory threats, saying he would have “slapped” the traveler if he were Igbo.

Both outlets report that the matter involves Nigeria Police Force personnel and was recorded at a roadside checkpoint on the expressway, where the passenger was asked for payments. The reports focus on the extortion allegation and the discriminatory language captured in the video, rather than on any confirmed outcome for the officers involved.
