Nigerian Police Officers Extort Cash From Anti-Corruption Chief

Four Nigerian police officers allegedly set up an illegal checkpoint in Abuja and extorted 53,000 naira (£45) from Musa Aliyu, head of Nigeria's anti-corruption agency (ICPC). After Aliyu reported the incident, police arrested the suspects. They face internal disciplinary proceedings. Such cases rarely reach criminal court, handling misconduct through administrative channels rather than prosecution.
