Solomon Arase, Police IG tells Nigerian “Don’t bribe policemen, reports them instead “
The new Inspector General of
Police, Solomon Arase, says Nigerians should stop bribing policemen and instead
report them if they ask for bribe. He made the statement Yesterday when asked
during a press briefing in Abuja if bail in Nigeria was free or not.
"We have a zero tolerance
for payment of money to free suspect. I am appealing to members of the public,
not to corrupt my men; it takes two to
tango. If they ask you for bribe and you refuse to give, and you have avenues
where your grievances can be ventilated, I do not see any reason why you should
give them bribe. The Commissioner of Police is there; the Area Commander is
there; the DPO is there; and the technical platform (to report corrupt
policemen) is there. We have opened ourselves to public accountability. So, you
cannot now say the whole problem should be blamed on the police force’’ he
said.
