The Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, Mr Aderemi Adeoye has presented cash reward of two hundred and fifty thousand naira to a Policewoman serving in Main Market Division, Onitsha for rejecting bribe.
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.
According to a release on behalf of the command by the Police-Public Relations Officer, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, Inspector Oyor stopped the driver and inquired about the consignment from the purported owner who instead of explaining how he came to be in possession of the cable, offered her 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 the sum of five hundred thousand naira to be allowed to go, but was turned down by the officers.
On getting the information, Commissioner of Police then ordered State CID Awka to take over the case for investigation with a view to unravelling where the used cables came from.
At the presentation of the cash award in his office on Friday, the Commissioner of Police commended the DPO for providing good leadership and Inspector Charity Oyor for her uprightness.
He urged all Personnel in the Command to always uphold ethics of the profession by refusing to be compromised in the discharge of their duties.
The DPO thanked the Commissioner of Police for leading by personal example and said her personnel were inspired by his leadership.
Inspector Charity Oyor promised to rededicate herself to the job she loves so much and thanked the Commissioner of Police for his generosity.
Also present at the brief ceremony was the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Administration, DCP Peter Ozigi.
