The Federal Capital Territory Police Commissioner, Benneth Igweh has assured Abuja residents of maximum security around the clock.
He gave the assurance at a reception held in Abuja by friends and associates of Ibrahim Ezekiel Sini, a Police Superintendent, who declined a bribe of N150 million from a Lagos businessman.
He noted that the command is working with residents to curb crime and criminalities in the FCT.
Igweh commended Abuja residents for collaborating with the command by providing useful information which has helped the command.
The Commissioner also said that Superintendent Sini’s action brought pride and honour to the Nigerian police.
One of the organisers of the event, Chukwudi Asudeogu, said that Sini’s conduct remains exemplary and should inspire others, noting that the Nigerian Police Force has men of integrity and good conduct.
“This honour is aimed at appreciating the laudable conduct of Superintendent Ibrahim Sini and to demonstrate that society appreciates individuals of integrity and good conduct.
“We want to also show that the Nigerian Police Force has professional officers,” Asudeogu stated.
Also, Prince Chukwuemeka Okoye, CEO, of Vegas Homes, harped on Officer Sini’s commendable character, explaining that “this is just the beginning of what we have in store for his commendable conduct. To reject N150 million takes discipline, the fear of God and professionalism. All these are attributes Officer Ibrahim has demonstrated.”
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Duport Midstream Company, Akindele was alleged to have offered police a bribe of N150 million to pervert the course of investigation in a petition against him.
The investigative team was led by Ibrahim Ezekiel Sini.
