The officer, throughout the incident, remains impassively seated, his hands folded. The video was shared on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, “Take it! How much ill-gotten money will you eat? The public gave the answer in the same language.” The poster alleges that the officer may have secured his position through bribery and continues to pass money up to his superiors. While the details of the government office’s location remain unconfirmed, the video has sparked widespread debate and condemnation of corruption on various social media platforms.
