It’s Embarrassing For Policemen To Collect N100 From Drivers – Force PRO Adejobi
Mr. Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the spokesperson for the Nigerian Police Force, has noted that police officers who collect N100 from motorists are causing embarrassment.
He urged his colleagues in the job to desist from extorting the drivers on the road. He called it corruption.
Mr. Adejobi, who expressed his opinion on X while replying a user who asked to know what the policemen collect N100 for.
The user innocuously asked, “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?”
Police imagemaker, Adejobi, replied, “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.
“In fact, 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.”
