The Ogun State Police Community Relations Committee, PCRC, has rewarded five police officers serving in the state for arresting suspected assassins.
The officers were also honoured for rejecting a sum of N53,000 offered to them by the assassins; Chigozie Nworie and Kingsley Ofotele, who were fleeing to Anambra state after a botched assassination bid on a Lagos-based businessman, Mr Tochukwu Onyebuchi.
The Chairman of PCRC in Ogun State, Ibraheem Olaniyan while announcing the reward including letter of commendation and cash gift to each of the officers, said the officers were honoured for their “patriotism, professionalism and shunning bribe to save the life and property of a crime victim.”
The Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, also said the officers acted in the spirit of the new mantra of: ‘Change begins with me.’
The beneficiary officers, including Afoloyan Sunday attached to the Highway unit of the force, turned down the bribe on October 20 when they stopped the fleeing assassins at the Ijebu-Ode stretch of the Sagamu-Ore expressway for a search while escaping with their victim’s Sport Utility Vehicle.
