Traffic officers in Nigeria have been arrested following allegations that they attempted to solicit a bribe from Musa Aliyu, the head of the country’s Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). The officers reportedly stopped Mr. Aliyu at a roadblock that was later identified as unauthorized.
During the encounter, the officers allegedly instructed the anti-corruption chief to drive to a nearby cash machine to provide payment. The incident has led to the detention of the officers involved as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding the attempted extortion of a high-ranking government official.
