Y’all must have seen the video of an unidentified police officer caught on camera demanding dollar bribe from a citizen for wearing camouflage. He is F/No 374171 Cpl Aniyem Chiyem attached to the Isheri Division. He was arrested earlier today after the video went viral. Thanks to social media!  According to press statement released by the police minutes ago:

"A hitherto unidentified policeman caught in a hidden camera allegedly demanding “dollar bribe” from a citizen has been identified and arrested. He is F/No. 374171 Cpl Aniyem Chiyem attached to Isheri Division, Lagos State Police Command.
