The motorist had allegedly violated the lockdown order of the government to curb the community transmission of Coronavirus in the nation’s commercial capital.

The motorist, whose car was seized by the police, was told to pay N50,000 but he pleaded to pay N40,000. But unknown to Martins, the motorist recorded the transaction.

In the video posted by @RuggedyBaba, a Nigerian entertainer, the incident happened on Friday, April 10 at Ago Palace Road Okota.
