By Oki Samson, Trek Africa Newspaper
Does Nigeria have quality police officers with a good record of honesty and integrity? Yes, she does. Not all Police officers are bad, National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP can report.
The remarkable story of the DPO of the ManCenter police division, CSP Ayo Elijah who recently demonstrated sheer integrity with the rejection of a Twenty Million Naira (NGN 20 Millionaire) bribe to cover up a criminal case is one fantastic example of several faithful Police officers in the Nigeria Police Force who are working quietly to keep our society safe and secure.
Acting on an Intel from a taxi driver that a young woman is held captive in an Ikeja hotel, CSP Ayo Elijah personally led his team to Definite Destiny Hotel, Balogun, Ikeja where the lady was tied with heavy chains on both hands and feet with the mouth also under lock inside one of the hotel rooms by two men who had severally raped her and possibly might have killed her but for the timely intervention of the ManCenter DPO.
The woman had been picked from Murtala Mohammed International Airport to the hotel by the taxi driver. Perhaps seeing that she is in deep trouble, the lady sent a SOS message to the taxi driver who promptly involved the Police.
The two suspects, realizing that the only way they could be left off the hook, decided to bribe CSP Ayo Elijah with the huge sum indicating that they would make the transfer immediately if he played ball with them.
Not denying the ethics of his profession, CSP Ayo Elijah who won the prestigious Trek Africa Best DPO of the Year 2024 award last December and recently The Pride Newspaper Most Outstanding DPO of the Year stood his ground against the huge tempting cash reward. It is believed that the MAN Center’s DPO, CSP Ayo Elijah will continue to demonstrate standards, honesty, and integrity in his policing career.
