The new Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, says Nigerians
should stop bribing policemen and instead report them if they ask for
bribe. He made the statement today when asked during a press briefing in
Abuja if bail in Nigeria was free or not...
"We have a zero tolerance for payment of money to free
suspect. I am appealing to members of the public, not to corrupt my men; It
takes two to tango. If they ask you for bribe and you refuse to give, and you
have avenues where your grievances can be ventilated, I do not see any reason why
you should give them bribe. The Commissioner of Police is there; the Area
Commander is there; the DPO is there; and the technical platform (to report
corrupt policemen) is there. We have opened ourselves to public accountability.
So, you cannot now say the whole problem should be blamed on the police
force’’ he said.
