Lawyer Exposes N300k Police Fees in Nigeria: A Call to Action
A lawyer has alleged that police officers in Nigeria now charge fees as high as N300,000 for their services, including issuing protection and performing official duties.
This claim, which has drawn public concern, highlights issues of corruption and inefficiency within the Nigerian police force.
The allegations point to widespread exploitation by some officers, with demands for money beyond the official duties they are supposed to perform freely as part of their public service responsibilities.
Authorities have yet to formally address the accusation.
