Anambra State Police Command Rewards Female Officer Who Rejected Bribe With N250,000

Meanwhile, The Anambra State Police Command has rewarded a female officer, Inspector Charity Oyor, who rejected a bribe offered to her by a transporter for stolen goods.

Naija News learnt that the inspector on duty in Onitsha saw a vehicle laden with cables and decided to flag it down.

The police officer was offered a bribe, but she rejected it and invited operatives who later found out the goods were stolen.

The state police command’s spokesperson, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, in a press release, said the policewoman got N250,000 as a reward from the Police commissioner for a diligent job.

Ikenga wrote: “The Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, CP Aderemi Adeoye has awarded a cash sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira 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.”

Ikenga said the Commissioner of Police had ordered State CID Awka to take over the case to investigate where the used cables came from.

At the presentation of the cash award in the commissioner’s office on Friday, Adeoye commended the DPO for providing exemplary leadership and Inspector Charity Oyor’s uprightness.

He urged all Personnel in the Command to always uphold the profession’s ethics by refusing to be compromised in discharging their duties.
