Policemen Collecting N100 From Commercial Drivers ‘Demeaning’ – Force PRO
Force Public Relations Officer, Mr Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has condemned the idea of having cops collecting N100 from commercial drivers and other road users submitting that such an act is embarrassing and demeaning.
He has urged policemen getting involved in such an act to stop doing so because it is a corrupt practice.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Adejobi said this while responding to an X user, who had raised a question and asked why should policemen collect N100 from road users?
‘Good morning my x brothers and sisters. Pl’s, I want to ask this for clarification. The N100 policemen collect on the road what is it meant for? Is it to complete their salary bcos they’re not well paid or buy touch light, uniform or pay rent cos gov. didn’t provide for them?’ the X user, alfredonah11, had submitted.
‘It’s pure corruption. It’s not allowed or acceptable. It’s condemned in its totality. 100 naira or whatever amount being collected by some policemen (not all of them) on the road is embarrassing and does not portray the police in a good light.
Actually, the hatred and bad image of the police is tailored to this and some other isolated misconducts. Those you see on the road collecting dirty money do not represent our standards, values, and vision. It’s a matter of time. They will soon meet their Waterloo.
The IGP detests that and is working assiduously to tackle corruption, misconduct and unprofessionalism in the police. We will soon reveal the outcomes of IGP’s monitoring team’s operations across the country.
We have recorded successes in that regard, and it’s a continuous exercise. Thanks’ Adejobi responded-Team@orientactualmags.com
