Police Force: Nigerian Police Female Inspector Rejects N500,000 Bribe From Suspect In Anambra, Gets Rewarded

The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Aderemi Adeoye, on Friday rewarded a female Police Inspector, Charity Oyor, serving in Main Market Division, Onitsha, with a cash sum of N250,000 for rejecting a bribe of N500,000 from a criminal suspect.

The Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, who made this known in a statement in Awka, the state capital, explained that the female Police Inspector was on traffic duty in the market on Wednesday when she saw a shuttle bus carrying six heavy bundles of stripped armoured cable suspected to have been stolen driving past.

She stopped the driver and inquired about the consignment from the purported owner who, rather than explain how he came to be in possession of the cable, offered her a bribe which she rejected.

The Police Inspector put a call across to her DPO, Superintendent Joy Chidinma Ikpeama, who led police personnel to the scene and arrested the suspect. The cable was impounded and taken to the station for investigation.

“At the station, the suspect again offered a sum of N500,000 to be allowed to go. This was rejected by the officers. The DPO promptly briefed the Commissioner of Police on the arrest and recovery.

The Commissioner of Police then ordered State CID Awka to take over the case for investigation with a view to unravelling where the used cables came from.

“At the presentation of the cash award in his office on Friday, the Commissioner of Police commended the DPO for providing good leadership and Inspector Charity Oyor for her uprightness.
