Activist Harrison Gwamnishu of Behind Bars Initiative has returned two hundred thousand Naira paid into his account to drop charges against highway policemen that abducted and forcefully extorted 700,000 from a businessman using a POS.

He lamented how highly placed individuals and notable traditional rulers have been bugging his phones, declaring that people are the problem and not necessarily the government.

He wrote;

“From the day we arrested SAFER HIGHWAY police officers for kidnapping citizens and collecting huge ransom as BAIL using POS operator and arrest of four SARS officers who collected N700,000 from a business man in Delta State.

“My phone has known no peace. My village people have been calling, both traditional rulers, notable men/women.

“They are begging we drop all charges against them.

“ I AM TIRED and i feel like quitting. Quitting will increase the problem.

“ I received alert of N200,000 from someone who is close to me, who I respect. Immediately i received the alert, i called him and he said, HARRISON, drop all charges.

“The PEOPLE are the problem not THE GOVERNMENT. If the people decide, GOVERNMENT will obey... We love the chain and ready to always pay our way out.

“For the N200,000 they sent, i transferred back to sender. Even when i haven't paid my son school fees, i refused to accept the bribe to set free officers who kidnapped and robbed us using their uniform.”

Good thing we have a person who wouldn't compromise no matter the condition of things. I pray they don't go after his life. He should better expose some or all of those telling him to drop charges in case anything goes wrong.

Too bad.... Police that are meant to protect and serve us are now becoming the law breakers. Kudos to BBI.

Good one bro.

Stand for what is right even if it means standing alone!


But this guy operating NPF Faux account on Twitter has maximum sense of humor

What ROT in the Nigerian Police Force! Tufiakwa.

Please go place your life on insurance! This is the buhari we voted and sang so many songs of change!! The system gets messier day in and out!

Police rob citizens during the day with government uniforms/arms and turn to full fledge armed robbers at night!

next tactic is to kill you beware. the country is deeply rotten

I'm astonished. I swear Sodom and Gomorrah is waaaaaaaaaaaay moral than Nigeria

The system is crime n corruption ridden. You can only try ur best in ur little capacity, the rottenness imbedded in the system cannot be blotted out so easily

Guy, leave that media wash story..

If Na 5mil and you never paid your son school fees, walahi you go collect.

If you no collect am wetin you wan gain.. Abi se suffer no dey tire you Ni?

Nigerians are not yet ready to be free basically because majority of our people are not morally upright.

They only complain when they are at the receiving end.

Even if you decide to drop the charges, it's good you didn't collect the money. They will come back to use it against you.

Meanwhile, I just registered Godman Plumbing Services. Watch out for our innovation in Plumbing in Nigeria.

God bless this Man.Look at People begging for corrupt Police Officers!

Pls let's support this initiative to the fullest.

Commendable
But why am I having a feeling that every news like this in this country is about 2023

Don't be surprise if by then he start using this to preach to the Masses for a senate sit.

Just my thinking tho

Shouldn't the person who paid that 200k be prosecuted for bribery also?

Story man, everybody has a price.

We the civilian are at the receiving end, from soldiers to police to cultist even armed robbers and Agbero.. I have tried not to give up on our country but am tired.. I need work pls Bsc industrial Physics, I live in Abuja but can work anywhere help please...

He should stop the morality nonsense, that 200k is just not enough, with the right amount of money, anyone can be compromised.

Gbam!

People are really the problem of Nigeria not the Govt. But am confused here. Without people would there be govt? To me both the people in govt and those in the private sector are the problem with this country. Nobody wants to take responsibility to make things right.

Mheen

Kudos to him. We need more of his type. Nigerian bribery is beyond words.
