A video showing a policeman demanding N5,000 or five litres of petrol from motorists over their failure to provide certificates of digitalised central motor registry (e-CMR), has appeared on social media.

When one of the motorists asked the policeman what the problem was, he responded “CMR”.

The motorist challenged that the enforcement of CMR is illegal in the country.

The policeman responded: “You can make your calls”.

When asked what he wants the motorists to do about the situation, he demanded for five litres of fuel.

“There is no filling station here,” the motorist responded.

“We will go and buy it,” the policeman said.

When asked how much is the fuel, he said “N5,000”.

The motorist asked if the policeman wanted to collect N5,000 from each of the vehicles.

During the negotiation, the policeman asked another motorist to bring money for three litres of fuel.

At the end, the policeman collected N3,000 from the motorist.
