<p>A Nigerian civilian, Temi Tope Samson, has narrated how <a target="_blank" href="http://gistreel.com/tag/police"><strong>police officers</strong></a> allegedly paid him N1 million on the spot after an officer crashed his car during a controversial highway arrest in Ogun State.</p>
<p>Samson, who was travelling from Lagos to Ondo State, said he was stopped at a checkpoint in Ogun and accused of failing to stop for their superior at an earlier checkpoint. He explained that he unknowingly passed the previous checkpoint due to early morning fog.</p>
<p>Despite his defence, the officers allegedly demanded a fine of N500,000 or threatened to take him to their station. <span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;">While en route to the station, an officer who took control of his vehicle <strong>crashed it in an accident</strong>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;">In an attempt to settle the situation, the officers reportedly negotiated and paid him N1 million to repair the damages.</span></p>
<p>However, Samson claimed he was coerced into accepting the settlement and later discovered upon arrival in <a target="_blank" href="http://gistreel.com/tag/ondo-state"><strong>Ondo State</strong></a> that the accident had affected his car’s engine.</p>
