At the annual symposium during a Feast of Barracuda organised by the National Association of Seadogs, the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, has declared the Nigerian Police as the least corrupt officers compared to all other institutions in Nigeria.

Arase who was represented by the Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory, Mr. Wilson Inalegwu said that the practical step to deal with corruption was to dismantle road blocks by Police and the establishment of Monitoring Teams to ensure compliance across the country.

The IGP also said bail is free and urged Nigerians to call their helplines whenever they are asked to make payment for bail and promised that such officers would be dealt with.

He said: “The IG said he is allergic to corruption and since then he has taken practical steps to deal with the issue of corruption, both the history of corruption and perception of corruption of the Nigeria Police Force.

“One of the first things he did was to set up the IGP’s Monitoring Teams. First of all the decision by the Police Management Team was to take out roadblocks across all our highways. It was not just to dismantle it, he set up the IGP Monitoring Team to ensure that these directives are enforced.”

“If you go across most of our highways now roadblocks have been reduced to the barest minimum, and anybody mounting roadblocks, does that at his risk.

“Presentations are also made where Commissioners of Police are invited to look at the situations across the country right from the condition of suspects in Police cells and they have a technical platform that enable them to monitor the behaviour and conduct of police officers on the road as they handle suspects.

“The IG said bail is free! Help lines have been provided where you can supply information. You can call to inform that you went to this station and paid this amount and I can assure you, action will be taken. Bail is free, the monitoring teams are going round to practically deal with those avenues that can lead to corruption.

It's not his fault

I concur, because the cummulative of the N50 'roger' that all policemen in Nigeria collects in year is not up to what one honourable thief collects from house of reps.
Abeg make una free o/c.

Datz true We ve to support our own Not only condemning dem

Somehow true shaaa... If my Uncle a director with a federal government parastatal can buy 3 dupelex in Asokoro and 2 Duplex in Utako after just 3months on that appointment

Tafa Balogun comes to mind. What was his crime again? 17Billion Naira meant for the salaries & the welfare of the police.

Yeah, and NEPA is the most efficient and Baba One Chance is not a Dullard.

Let him defend his work jaey.

I agree with the IGP, Tinubu is also the most incorruptible politician in the universe, after Ibori.

I need to take a nap, and read this again on waking up.

Oya were Ni

tuoaaaa i spit

They are certainly the most incompetent

OGA IG , how come you forget about the #20 roger that the policemen on checkpoints have been collecting for years and which they have voluntarily shot so many people for, how come you forget that bail is free, but in every damn police stations in this country it not less than 5k, abeg abeg... no just provoke the people , you dey hear me so?. Police is the main reason we are going backwards. . So just respect your age for dia.

Even a baby in the womb will do yimu to this statement...all the Rogers collected across Nigeria on a daily basis is enough to finance the budgets of some small poor African countries!

Believe Nigerian police at your own risk. NPF men are out of our highway but we still have lot of them that collect bribe from criminals. There are lot of policemen that chase okada rider round the town

For your infor Arase., your men still collect some token for bail
