Why I Rejected N150m Bribe From Suspect Seeking To Flee The Country – SP Ibrahim Sini

Mr. Ibrahim Sini, a Superintendent of Police, has disclosed reasons why he rejected a bribe from a suspect who had sought to be released secretly and allowed to flee the country.

The suspect in question, a Lagos-based businessman, Akintoye Akindele  had  attempted to bribe Ibrahim and he had promised to make N150 million available to him.

Akindele, who was arraigned for an offence at the Federal High Court ,Abuja in August 2023, had been ordered to get  remanded in the Kuje correctional centre.

 Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Sini  had led the Inspector General of Police’s team of investigators that handled the case .

‘I am very happy to be here, and I want to appreciate the organizers of this programme. They have beaten my imagination, and they have added more grease to my elbow.

 Yes, I remember when the incident happened. The person in question asked me, ‘Do you want to be rich?’ He added that ‘This is an opportunity for you to be rich’.

So, my response was that it depends on the kind of riches. I would like to have money so that I can lay my head down and sleep at night. I don’t want to have something that will make me think twice and be running from one hole to another. So, I would like to do justice and have peace of mind.

So, I decided to do the right thing so that I can have peace of mind and also stand to do what is right for myself, for my organization, that is, the Nigeria Police and also for the country at large’ Ibrahim submitted while giving his speech during the dinner that was held  in his  honour  in Abuja on Friday.

He has also advised young people in the country not to trade their integrity for anything.

‘To the young people out there, I just want to tell them that integrity counts, that it’s good to be up and doing, that it’s possible to be in the midst of a lot of challenges and still stand to be different. Nigeria is our country, and Nigeria shall be great’ he added.

Ibrahim Sini , who has been gifted  a plot of land in Abuja, had the land title presented to him by the Commissioner of Police,  Federal Capital Territory Commissioner of Police, Benneth Igweh,  during the event.

 ‘We are proud of you, I want to let you know that your conduct has brought pride to the Nigeria Police Force. We urge other members of the force to emulate SP Sini’ the FCT police chief said.

Chief Executive Officer of Vegas Homes, Chukwuemeka Okoye,  who organized the event, said Sini’s conduct remains exemplary and should inspire others while  Nigerians will also  note that the Nigeria Police Force  has men of integrity and good conduct.

‘SP Sini’s actions have not only brought honour to himself and the Nigeria Police Force but have also inspired countless others to stand firm against corruption and uphold the highest ethical standards. His integrity serves as a beacon of hope, demonstrating that even in challenging circumstances; it is possible to remain true to one’s values.

This honour is aimed at not only appreciating the laudable conduct of Superintendent Ibrahim Sini but to demonstrating that society appreciates individuals of integrity and good conduct.

We want to also show that the Nigeria Police Force have officers that are professional, above board and with the right incentive to engage in meaningful policing and be worthy examples’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
