Policemen Reject N4 Million Bribe, Arrest Drug Peddlers In Lagos by opamoses1(op): 4:58am On Feb 09, 2024

Officers of Area K, Marogbo of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested one Esther Obiekezie for drug peddling alongside two others who attempted to bribe the police with N4 million for her release.

The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.

The statement read, “The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has commended the officer in charge of the Police Tactical Team attached to Area K, Marogbo, Lagos State Command, SP Rilwan Kasumu, and team, for rejecting N4m bribe while investigating a case of drug peddling and unlawful possession of ammunition.

“The team had arrested one Esther Newman Obiekezie, f, 42 years, aka Candy, of No 6, Mojirade Street, Ilogbo Lagos, on February 6, 2024, at her base where she sells drugs called ICE, and recovered a large quantity of the substance and some AK47 live ammunition from her.

“In the cause of the investigation, the duo of Akete Esther, f, 43, and Oke Okebalam, m, 49 years, of Ajamgbadi Lagos, came to the station in Ijanikin to solicit for the release of the drug peddler, Esther, and offered N4m and pleaded that the police should stop disrupting the illegal business (drug peddling) of Esther, henceforth.

“The police officer who frowned at the offer siezed the cash and marked it exhibit and arrested the duo for further investigation and prosecution.”

PUNCH Online reported on Sunday that operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency intercepted large consignments of Ghanaian Loud smuggled into Lagos with a total weight of 14, 524.8Kg and arrested a 66-year-old Nasiru Ojomu, who works with wanted Akala, Mushin-based drug baron, Suleiman Jimoh.

People get mind sha . So they took 4m cash to the police station to bribe policemen ? They are even lucky the policemen are ethical and professional ones.

Some unscrupulous policemen could as well have collected the money from them , lock them up or worse still kill them leaving no traces of their existence sef.

Kudos to the police officer. It's very difficult to find a disciplined police officer in Nigeria.

Even the police rejecting the bribe needs thorough investigation because I cant believe they rejected that bribe. Something went down during negotiations. This I am 10000000% sure.

If you dont agree with me, I will agree with you !!!

They rejected it because it was too small and they didn't want to make it like 10-15m. Know this and have peace.

This I have seen.

Then let them leave Nigeria! They're ruining Nigeria but every time they try to leave, you either beg or threaten them to stay. Maybe you are actually the problem.

fuckJones:
A single tribe succeeded in ruining Nigeria with their criminalities,yet they are saying if they exit Nig.
It will fall.
Imagine that delusion.
According to the report from the Ministry of Health,

70% of the medicine entering Nig. Are fake. How do we survive this

Of all the places to call for a SIT DOWN, you chose a police station and you went with cash?

Now police don give you free accommodation.
