A Nigerian policeman has been sacked after being caught on film apparently trying to extort money from a motorist accused of a traffic offence.The footage secretly filmed on a Lagos highway received thousands of hits on youtube and has been replayed on Nigerian television channels.
In the film, Sgt Chris Omeleze suggests he is part of a wider corrupt network.
But Nigeria's central police command insists otherwise. It sacked him less than a day after the video emerged.
Correspondents say being asked for money by traffic police for real or imagined traffic offences is a common experience for many Nigerians.
It is much rarer for perpetrators to be caught and penalized.
