The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has asked Nigerians to ask for a receipt whenever a policeman demands money from them.
The Police Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, made this known on Friday during an interview on TVC.
Adejobi said no policeman or woman is allowed to collect any money from any citizen, saying that any officer caught with proof will be severely punished.
The Force spokesman added that appreciating police officers by giving them gifts on the road will put them in serious trouble.
Adejobi asked Nigerians to always follow due process in appreciating police officers by going to their offices and meeting their superiors.
Speaking further, Adejobi said the constabularies dismissed for attempted extortion of Dutch Rider in Oyo State are not police personnel.
