The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has honoured three police officers for their exemplary performance in the discharge of their duties.

The officers are Sergeant Sampson Ekikere, Sergeant Yahaya Ahmed and CSP Elemide Akinkunmi Bishop.

Acting Force Spokesman, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.

Police Sergeant Sampson Ekikere, attached to 22 Police Mobile Force, Ikeja, Lagos.

He recovered a wallet, belonging to one Mr. Lukman Abaja, and traced the owner to deliver the found item on Saturday, 19th March, 2022.

“The IGP equally commended Sergeant Yahaya Ahmed attached to Higher Shari’ah Court, Tudun Wada Division, Gusau, Zamfara State, for rejecting the sum of N300, 000 bribe.

“The money was offered to him by one Chukwuka Jude, who was arrested at the same court on 18th January, 2022 for the offence of false presentation and cheating by impersonation.

He also lauded “CSP Elemide Akinkunmi Bishop who was Head of Operations at the Police Radio. CSP Bishop was mistakenly credited with the sum of N600,000 into his Police Account.

“The officer withdrew the sum and remitted it back to the Nigeria Police Cooperative Society treasury, showing attributes of an honest and trustworthy police officer.

The statement, “however, assures the entire Police workforce of sustainable efforts in improving their condition of service with a view to making life meaningful to them and having the Nigeria Police Force of our choice”.
