Nigerian Police Extort Cash From Anti-Corruption Chief

Four Nigerian police officers allegedly ran an illegal checkpoint in Abuja, extorting 53,000 naira (£45) from Musa Aliyu, head of Nigeria's anti-corruption agency (ICPC). Police arrested the suspects after Aliyu reported the incident. They face internal disciplinary proceedings. Such misconduct is typically handled administratively rather than through criminal prosecution, a pattern that shields officers from court trials.
