A Nigerian police officer has been detained after a video surfaced online showing him allegedly making an ethnic remark during a routine vehicle document inspection.
The video, which circulated widely on social media, showed the officer inspecting a motorist’s vehicle documents and driver’s licence before allegedly withholding the licence after returning the other documents.
When the motorist questioned why his licence had not been returned, the officer allegedly made a gesture suggesting he wanted money. He then reportedly told the driver, “If you were Igbo or someone else, I would have detained you.”
