Force rewards Policewoman with N250k for rejecting bribe of st%len goods in Anambra state

One Police woman, attached to Anambra State, who rejected a bribe offered to her by a transporter for stol£n goods has been rewarded with the sum of N250k.

The woman, identified as Inspector Charity Oyor who was on duty in Onitsha saw a vehicle ladened with cables, felt suspicious and decided to flag it down but when she was offered a bribe, she rejected it and invited operatives who later found out the goods were stol£n.

The police woman was rewarded. DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, who’s state police command’s spokesperson, revealed this in a statement shared on Saturday.

He said: “The Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, CP Aderemi Adeoye has awarded a cash sum of N250,000 to a Police woman serving in Main Market Division, Onitsha.

The Policewoman, Inspector Charity Oyor who was on traffic duty in the market on Wednesday, 23rd August, 2023, 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.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
