A new trend among Nigerian police officers and young men with money to spend sees the security agents discharging their weapons in an unofficial capacity.
The policemen are asked to shoot their guns in exchange for getting a particular amount of money from the challenger.
In a video circulating online, a man instructed a policeman who was on duty to fire a gunshot into the air for 20,000 Naira.

The security personnel who was eager to carry out the challenge upon hearing the cash he stands to get pointed his rifle to the sky and fired a single shot.
A few weeks ago, a similar thing happened when some young men in a car ordered a policeman at a checkpoint to fire a gunshot and get N10k.
It looks like it is fast becoming a trend as another man was said to have transferred N200k to an officer who responded with 10 gunshot salute.
