Policemen filmed picking money at Benin airport won’t be dismissed -FPRO

The Nigeria Police Force spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has said officers of the Force seen in a viral video picking money on the ground at Benin airport will not be dismissed.

He gave the clarification on Friday after some Nigerians expressed fear that some officers seen in a viral video picking the money singer Shallopopi threw into the air at the Benin Airport might be dismissed from service.

Adejobi, however, emphasised that while they may receive a lecture on refraining from such actions, it wouldn’t lead to dismissal as it is considered a less severe offence.

Reacting to the video on Instagram, Adejobi said, ‘’We won’t dismiss a policemen for picking such money, we can only lecture him not to do so again, as such relegates him.”
