Malawi Police are looking for a traffic officer from Limbe Police Station after a video goes viral showing an alleged bribe taking. One report says the footage, circulating from August 27, 2026, appears to show the officer stopping a minibus and receiving K20,000 from the driver.
Another outlet reports the incident triggers broader action in the traffic operations. Malawi Police issue a directive that orders the immediate withdrawal of all officers serving as traffic aides or attached to the traffic branch, describing it as a “clean house” response. While both accounts tie the actions to the same viral video and the same alleged amount, one focuses on the search for the individual officer, and the other emphasizes institutional disciplinary steps affecting traffic-related personnel.
Across the reports, the core point is that police respond to online allegations of corruption involving a traffic stop in Blantyre and initiate internal measures while seeking the officer shown in the video.
