A female Inspector, with Anambra Police Command, Charity Oyor, has been rewarded with the sum of N250,000 for rejecting bribe offer from a suspect she caught with bundles of stolen armoured cables.
Inspector Charity Oyo who is attached to the Main Market Division, Onitsha of Anambra Police Command was given the cash reward by the state Police Commissioner Aderemi Adeoye for rejecting the bribe on Friday.
Spokesperson for Anambra Police Command Tochukwu Ikenga, in a statement said, the Inspector “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.”
