In the video, the officers had stopped the biker, asking her where she was from and where she was heading.
The Dutch told the policemen that she was from the Netherlands and she was on her way to Abuja, apparently surprising the two officers.
Interacting with the biker further in pidgin, the officers said: “Wetin you bring come? Wetin you won give me. O yah give me something nah.”
The befuddled tourist appeared not to understand the officers’ message until they clearly said, “Give me money, money,” to which she asked, “Why?”
The 1:26-minute video has elicited unpleasant reactions from Nigerians who felt embarrassed by the policemen’s actions.
