In an attempt to extort N,4000 from his victims, the police officer said: “Even if you steal cars or you're an armed robber, God supports you. Make it four [N4,000]; we are four in number.
Earlier, the driver of the car could be heard saying: "Do you know how much they’ve collected from me today?"
And the police officer replied: "You’re a child of the world [loosely meaning 'you're a big boy']; you’re highly respected.
"Look, even if you steal cars or you're an armed robber, God supports you. I’m okay with it. Make it four [N4,000]; we are four in number."
When the money was handed over to the policeman, he said: :Thanks. 'Your head is correct.'"
