IG of Police tells Nigerians Don’t Bribe Police

Inspector-General of Police, IGP Solomon Arase made the appeal during a meeting with senior officers while answering questions from the press in Abuja on Tuesday.

He said, “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”
