The Commissioner of Police, Anambra State, CP Aderemi Adeoye, has awarded a cash sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira N250,000 to a Policewoman serving in Main Market Division, Onitsha, who rejected a bribe offered by a suspect.
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 armored 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 further investigation.
At the presentation of the cash award on Friday, the Commissioner of Police commended the DPO for providing good leadership and Inspector Charity Oyor for her uprightness.,the State Police Spokesperson, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, said.
He added that CP has urged all Personnel in the Command to always uphold the ethics of the profession by refusing to be compromised in the discharge of their duties.
Inspector Charity Oyor promised to rededicate herself to the job she loves so much and thanked the Commissioner of Police for his generosity.
