What is happening as corruption and extortion has made some of Officers Wondering where Nigeria is going as Nigerian police authorities reportedly ordered police personnel to pay N2,000 each for the purchase of a book dedicated to the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.
According to top sources, the police management made the purchase of the book compulsory for all officers, with a deadline for payment set for Thursday.

A police source said that the payment does not apply to junior officers.
