The Deputy Minority Whip of House of Representatives , Rt. Hon. Adesegun Abdel-Majid Adekoya has commended the officers of Awa-Ijebu police post for act of patriotism.

Officers of the Nigerian Police, Awa-Ijebu Police Division and some men of the Federal Road Safety Commission(FRSC) were recently seen in a video that has since gone viral on social media cutting a tree that was felled on a portion of the Ibadan/ Ijebu-Ode road by rainstorm.

According to the Deputy Minority Whip,this act is one quite uncommon with "our security operatives many of whom have brought disrepute not only to the service but have cast dark shadows on our entire national values."

The lawmaker, in a letter addressed to the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Awa-Ijebu and personally signed by him ,described these officers as models of good character and conduct.

"They are simply exemplary by their conduct. By this act, they have told us that there are still good people in Nigeria and that all hope is not lost on the possible return of our glorious past," Adekoya added.
