“They should give us receipt when we pay for the police clearance documents that are sent to Nigeria. Are they refusing to give receipt because it is meant for Nigeria?, he queried furiously.

In an attempt to uncover the truth, nigeriansinsouthafrica reporter went to the Midrand police station recently to process the South African and Nigerian police clearance.

To his chagrin, he was only issued receipt for the police clearance to be processed in South Africa.

He asked the officer in charge for the receipt for the police clearance to be processed in Nigeria, the officer said receipts are not issued for police clearance that are to be processed in Nigeria.

The reporter was only given the documents he finger-printed and signed by the officer in charge.
