ReplyDeleteNawa for this country.How many policemen have gone to prison for killing motorist who refused to grease their palm.JUNGLE JUSTICE.Well, I commend the police officer for standing tall.I wish others learn from this officer's virtue
ReplyDeleteGood boy:
ReplyDeleteNigeria must experience great transformation. Gradually, this is just the beginning. Police officers must change for good and good for all Nigerians.
I think the cause of corruption in the police is because of their black uniform. Now the uniform is changeed from black to a better colour.
N20.00 syndrom will soon die.
Dis story is baseless. Be constructive with ur reports. Why was d man arrested?
ReplyDeleteThe offer was too small for a policeman stationed around Apapa port. What a stipend for big bribe taker. I pity Abdul Ganiy for being poor. Sorry boy!
ReplyDeleteNigerianEye, do not loss focus!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy was the man arrested in the first place? Offering bride was to escape justice for his arrest. Was he jailed for what crime or for offering bribe? This report lacks objective.
For the police officer, Kudos to you.
How I wish that other criminals like civil service criminals and politicians can be given this type of speedy prosecution...Nigeria judiciary is corrupt in discharging their duty...The land is on fire. We the youth will soon revolt against all enemies of the state.
This is no news. Dig into the matter deeply. It may be that the guy didn't give the police guy the amount the police guy wanted.
ReplyDeleteWas the bribe not large enough?
ReplyDeleteGood act oga police keep it up.
