A new way to reduce our population

Despite the campaign against the black soot disturbing the Niger delta community, of which residents in portharcourt metropolis stage out a protest to show their grievances against the silent killing monster affecting the life and activities of people.

The Federal Government is still yet to react or shown any response in that regard. The whole campaign have seem to fall on deaf ear.

Learn how to trust partner
The River State government has turn it to a blame game against the Federal government, saying it is a deliberate act of the federal government to reduce the population of the people.

This leave me with the question of when will these politicians stop politicizing with people's life.

This dreadful soot which comes as a result of gas flaring and sundry combustible activities going on in Niger delta, goes up the cloud and then returns back in form of acid rain and soot to pollute our environment poses a great threat to our ecosystem if nothing is done urgently.

Our food is been poisoned, our children are falling sick, our land is loosing it fertility and our life span is been reduced.

We are begging on the government to please respond positively to salvage our environment and lives...

How to keep your relationship

In this our present dispensation, loving someone is not enough to keep a beautiful relationship.it is shocking though, but that is the truth.

Many relationships are in sham despite appearing to be perfect. Sometimes the couples pretend to the general public. kissing, holding hands, smooching and even going almost everywhere together but yet all doesn't seem well with them.

Just because you love someone doesn't mean you are going to have a perfect relationship with such person. It takes a deliberate action to work very hard, to keep the relationship all blue, I guess u understand what I mean.

Here I'm going to leave you with some tips in keeping the light in your affair all green and glaring.

From my findings, with proper examination of different relationship, I have been able to observe that, one of bed rock of a good love affair is
 1. Effective Communication.

In a relationship where communication is lacking, I can bet anyone on this. It sure going to fail.
Have your partner recently just stop talking to you about somethings he/she do tell you about before. He/she barely argues with you anymore or stop correcting you.

It is not that she now understand you better, don't be deceived, he/she no longer finds discussing with you interesting again, they easily get bored either chatting with you  or coming around you.check it carefully it may be a sign and a red light.

The one that struck me so hard is what I'm going to tell you now.

2. Proper Attention.

There's a saying that ladies love attention, that's is true but sincerely not only ladies guys too.

You only give your attention to something that's important to you, and when you aren't doing that, it automatically shows you don't care.

As two love birds, make sure you spend quality time with each other alone, create time to go to the movies together, parks and sometimes clubbing.
Be careful not to allow your job or activities carry you away from your spouse.
Give listening ear to each other even when it seems discomforting to you, u don't know the magic soothing relief you have done to that weighty heart.

Always appreciate every new change no matter how small it is. It maybe a new dress, hair style, or saying thank you after eating a good meal prepared by your spouse, or the fragrance of a perfume he/she is wearing. Just make sure you take note of the tiniest things between each other and appreciate it.

3. Mastering the power of persuasion is one salient key in keeping a healthy relationship.it saves alot of arguments, disagreements and quarrelling. With it ,you can smooth talk your partner to do anything for you.

There was man who wanted his wife to get him a glass of water, while he was sitted at parlour reading a book, his wife was with him at parlour making beads.
He knew very well telling his wife to get him a glass of water would amount his wife to be distracted with all the beads scattered on the floor, therefore making her to start all over. So he wisely told his wife that the meal she prepared yesterday was so sweet, that he hasn't  tasted such a nice meal for long time, it seems she has improved her cooking skills.

he continued ,pouring out encomium on his wife and told her to get him the remaining of the food. his wife just jumped up, not minding the beads scattering over the floor and walked straight to the kitchen and while she was moving

towards the kitchen the husband called, honey just get me a glass of water, i will eat the food later. The wife looking very happy served him the glass of water and continued her bead making..

As I'm about rounding up this piece,  there is something very important to note here.

Love is all about sharing and giving, and if this is lacking in a relationship it is definitely going to fail. In love you share everything not just material things, ideas, happiness, pain, memories and also let me ask, when last did you surprise your partner with a gift?

As Elections draws closer, criminal are returning from their hide out

I'm really sad with the sorry state these  selfish politicians have drag our beloved country, Nigeria into.

It seems to be a deliberate act, of these so called leaders to impoverish the masses, especially the youth who were recently referred to as being Lazy by President  Muhammadu Buhari.

Just recently I couldn't help but hide my face in shame , when I saw the same people declared by the Federal Government wanted, accompanying thesame politicians and chanting words of praise on them.

These are the same boys, perpetrating evil around, carrying out nefarous activities that has been troubling the peace of the country especially in Rivers state where cults boys are allowed to move freely.

After declaring them wanted, they were on the run, and all moves to apprehend them was abbortive. Today the same politicians have called them out of their hide out, using them again for their selfish reasons all to achieve their political goals.

As 2019 draws nearer,  the more these miscreants are seen gallivanting ,and the security agency seems to be doing nothing about it.
This leaves me with this question, of how then can we make this country better when criminals are allowed to move freely and also been empowered by our politicians.

Strangest thing about falling in love

Recently I was bumped into by one of these OAP asking random questions.

When she got to me she was looking all loved up, happy and with positive energy all around her glowing, and then she asked, what is my greatest fear?...  All those beautiful countenance dropped,  when she got my reply, it was so obvious..

I told her falling in love is one of my greatest phobea, she asked , why ?        because she haven't heard it from anyone like this, before.

The truth is that falling inlove for me, is seen as a weakness. It has adverse effects, though mixed with the good, the bad and ugly. But most times it seems like an opportunity for me to get exploited. I know many may want  to argue this, but the fact remains there's no true love without exploitation by one of the duos in love.

Don't get me wrong, like I'm an evil genius who doesn't believe in love. I do,  in fact I can fall in love in most of the strangest ways.
 In one of my cases I have fallen in love with out knowing ,only when I thought I can just eat and run, my heart starts bleeding and couldn't even concentrate on anything without a flash of the person I was in love with, in my mind.

Sometimes I couldn't even complete any conversation without mentioning her name.

It is indeed a beautiful experience to be in love but it also a bizzare one to get fallout of love while you are in the midst of getting all loved up. 
 Let me explain properly,  while you are still madly taken over by love, your partner get bored with the relationship and seems not to care any shit about you. Then you feel like given up..

  Share your thoughts ...

What is real definition of the word stingy?

what's your definition of stingy?

to me a stingy person is someone you spend on, help in time of his/her needs, but doesn't spend on you and doesn't help in your time of need.

like;
I spend on a guy, help him when he is in need but he doesn't reciprocate back, he gives excuses or blatantly refuses to help me in return.

what's your own definition of stingy? because I've noticed that the word have different meanings to many people. Especially girls who randomly asked of money anytime they just bump into a guy and when they are been refused you are then term stingy.

The word stingy has become a regular word used by girls to lure guys to give them.

Gov. Wike sympathizes with Corp members over the death of six of their colleagues

 

 The governor of Rivers was saddened and express his displeasure over the death of  Corp members who lost their lives during their active service in his state.

The governor who was represented by Mr Kenneth Kobani at the passing out ceremony yesterday said "report reaching me indicate that we lost six of our Corp members to the cold hands of death, may their soul rest in peace".

To those who successfully finished the service year, Wike acknowledged, "Your distinguished services greatly impacted the social economic landscape of Rivers, your pivotal place in our quest for sustainable development noteworthy through the community development services of the scheme.

"Now faced with seeking gainful employment, I advise you apply yourself to the practical self employment lessons you were exposed through the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurial Development Programme in course of the service year as white collar jobs are no longer available to all employable Nigerians. Be self reliant"

As acknowledged by the Rivers state coordinator, NYSC , Sunday Aroni, Overall, 2550 corps members successfully passed out on the on the affected stream while 24 remain on extended service to face various disciplinary measured for various misconduct in course of their duties, just as two distinguished members won awards for meritorious service.

See NEMA show of shame today

It was really absurd today, seeing authorities of NEMA shivering in answering questions about items and funds delivered to them by contractors.Dangote and two other companies yet to be mentioned who were not qualified to handle such contract claimed to have delivered items costing over 5.8bn

The so called leadership of NEMA have still, not be able to give a clear information of how they have distributed this items and money worth 5.8bn There is discrepancy between items distributed by contractors and items received by NEMA.

The hearing was presided over by the Deputy Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Ali Isa.

In their reports, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), the National Pension Commission (PENCOM) and the Industrial Training Fund (ITF), revealed that the NEMA boss violated the law on tax and other breaches in the contracts to the companies.

The separate reports adopted by the Committee during the hearing specifically stated that the NEMA’s boss did not carry out due diligence and financial regulations on the companies to know their qualifications and their status before awarding the multi-million Naira contracts to them.

No God father, no job in Nigeria

Life after school is one phase of life with it own bitter-sweet  experience or should I say sweet-bitter experience.

First
after graduating, it seems to be one of the thrilling moment because of the feeling of being free atlast after spending four or five years or even more  for those who ASUU or ASUP strike elongated  their study year in higher institution.

For some their state of ecstasy increases with high hope because of the good  grade they obtained or maybe because they are degree holders thinking after NYSC they will be hot cakes for companies and Government agencies to chase after.

 But as times goes on after six months of waiting extending to a year, then the bitter experience begins with reality showing it trueself, only then, will they realize that there isn't any job waiting for anyone.

Growing up as kids, we were told that in the early 60's to 80's jobs were waiting for you after graduation if you are competent. But it seems in our time things are alot different.

These days, if you don't have any recommendation from one big man some where or the so called community chance, your chances of employment is slim whether you are competent or not.

As I end this piece let me share a story of a friend who went submitting his resume in one of the well known construction companies in Portharcourt. He was shock with the reply he got. He was told the company does not accept CV except recommended by known person or through host community that he stop coming.

"My Life Is Endangered Over Exposing Cross River State Govt Diversion Of Relief Materials Meant For Bakassi" - Sen. Florence Ita- Giwa

Former senator, Florence Ita-Giwa, says her life is endangered following her recent ‘exposure’ of the diversion of relief materials meant for Internally Displaced Persons in Dayspring Island, Bakassi.

The senator disclosed this at a media briefing in Lagos on Monday. Addressing the press, Ms. Ita-Giwa alleged that a certain Effiong Udeme in collusion with some Cross River State officials shared the relief materials, which included bags of cement, wood, and packs of zinc among themselves and also sold some to the market.

But in a twist of events, Christian Ita, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor of Cross River State issued a statement on Tuesday accusing Ms. Ita-Giwa of attempting to divert attention from the counter-claims by some indigenes of Bakassi who accuse her of age-long diversion of materials and the resettlement fund meant for their rehabilitation.

Mr. Ita was quoted as saying, “Rather than respond to the claims by Bakassi indigenes that she has over the years been diverting their relief materials and funds, Senator Ita-Giwa has resorted to blackmailing the governor in a bid to divert attention from the accusations by the indigenes that she has been diverting their relief materials.”

But, Ms. Ita-Giwa has insisted that she is a victim of a personal vendetta being waged by political enemies spearheaded by Mr. Ayade. She also alleged that the latter wants her dead.

“If anything happens to me, Governor Ayade should be held responsible for the text he sent to me. I would like the public to know that Governor Ben Ayade, a man whose election I supported, has been sending menacing text messages to me, warning me of the consequences of involving the Nigerian Media and Nigeria Police in the uncovering of the diversion of the relief materials by his government officials,”.

“As we speak, Cross River State is very unsafe, with assassinations and kidnapping becoming the order of the day. Under this cloud of general insecurity nothing must happen to me. Governor Ayade and his gang of merry men should be told that they will be held responsible should I come to any misfortune. This self-serving campaign of calumny against me instigated by the state government is capable inciting ethnic tensions which may in turn lead to the shedding of blood, a prospect I dread greatly.”

She also threatened to relocate all her investments in Cross River, notably her restaurant, Fusion, to Lagos State since, according to her, it appears that she is no longer wanted in her homestead.

Ms. Ita-Giwa, also known as Mama Bakassi, said trouble began after she blew the whistle on the alleged diversion of the relief materials she sourced from the National Refugee Commission for victims of a fire outbreak in Dayspring Island, Bakassi.

She noted, “From my observations, it appears to me that Governor Ayade feels threatened by my joining the APC for whatever reason. I don’t recall any other former PDP stalwart in the state who decamped to the APC being as persecuted as I am. Could it be that Governor Ayade is picking on me because of my gender or my enormous electoral appeal? I choose to believe the latter as I would like to believe that Ayade is not a misogynist, and he ought to know that I have never played gender politics.”

She said rather than get praises for her timely intervention, she got knocks.

“They turned the table around and accused me of diverting the relief materials,” she said.

Not only that, some disgruntled people of Bakassi, she alleged, have asked her to cease from representing Bakassi. This, she said, has necessitated her decision to relocate all her investments from Cross Rivers State.

“I have no problem abandoning Bakassi which is my father’s town for Calabar South where my mother hails from. I contested and represented Calabar South in the House of Representative. I can also transfer my love and passion to Ilaro in Ogun state where my step-father hails from since I have a cordial relationship with them."

Donald Trump Became First President In Two Decades Not To Host A Ramadan Dinner

Donald Trump has broken with a two-decade old tradition of hosting an iftar meal at the White House during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.T
he modern tradition was started by First Lady Hillary Clinton, who hosted a meal on Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, in 1996.
Both Presidents George Bush and Barack Obama hosted an annual iftar – the sunset meal that breaks the daily fast during the holy month – in their time in office.

The first, informal, White House iftar is said to have taken place in 1805, when Thomas Jefferson hosted the Tunisian envoy to the US and announced in invitations that “dinner will be on the table precisely at sun-set”.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson reportedly rejected a request by his department’s office of religion and global affairs to hold an event for the holiday.
“It is disappointing because that’s been a good tradition,” Imam Talib Shareef of the Nation’s Mosque in Washington, DC, told the magazine Newsweek of Mr Trump’s decision.
“To stop it doesn’t send a good message. You get the chance to go golfing and all this other kind of stuff. How come you don’t have time for a population of your society that needs some assistance? The message that it sends is that we’re not that important.”
The president released a short statement over the weekend, sending “warm greetings” to Muslims celebrating the end of Ramadan.

Reasons why Governor Wike dissolves his cabinet

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers says the dissolution of the State Executive Council is to ensure better performance of the machinery of government and move the state forward.
The governor stated this on Sunday at a Thanksgiving service over the victory of Evans Bipi, the Majority Whip of the State House of Assembly in the rerun election for Ogu/Bolu state constituency in the House of Assembly.
Mr. Wike noted that the dissolution was carried out at the right time after due consultation with the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
“The dissolution was done to enable the machinery of government to move the state forward; this is when you know those who are loyal and those who are not loyal.
“There is no crack in government; we are working together. The dissolution was done in consultation with the leadership of PDP in the state,” Mr. Wike said
According to him, his administration will work with those who are loyal while those who are not loyal will be dropped.
“Those who are not loyal will be shown the way out, those who are loyal will come back. When you are going into another dispensation, you have to put things in order,” Mr. Wike said.
The governor, who also assured that his administration would continue to deliver on its electoral promises to the people, commended Mr. Bipi for his unwavering loyalty at all times.


“When people never gave us hope, Evans Bipi was reliable; Bipi is a very loyal and committed person,” he said.
The governor said that Mr. Bipi was among the first group of supporters that the party had in the state.
Mr. Wike lauded the people of Ogu/Bolo council for supporting Mr. Bipi all through the re-run elections in the area.
The governor urged contractors handling rehabilitation of schools in Ogu/Bolo council to ensure early completion.
Mr. Bipi, in his remarks, reiterated the resolve of the people of Ogu/Bolo to support the Wike-led government.
The former First lady of Nigeria, Patience Jonathan, former members of the Rivers Executive Council, religious leaders and Caretaker Committee Chairmen graced the occasion.

According to the person who shared this, this is not the first time the pastor has done this.

He was caught this evening with a pot of charm, he wanted to bury at someone's compound. which they will later bring out in the name of liberating the family.

Amaechi's wife didn't demand or collect money from us- Former LGA chairmen and commissioners in Rivers state refute Wike's claim

Earlier in the week, Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike alleged that each commissioner and local government chairman in Rivers State paid Amaechi's wife, Judith, the sum of N3m and N2m monthly while he was in office.

Amaechi has already come out to deny this claim. Now, the former chairmen and commissioners in the state during Amaechi's tenure have released a joint statement denying Wike's claim...


The statement was signed by the former chairman of Asari-Toru LGA, Ojukaye Flag Amachree and the former Commissioner of Sports, Fred Mbombo-Igwe.

Read the statement below...

The attention of former Chairmen of Local Government Councils and Commissioners in Rivers State during the administration of former Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi have been drawn to a recent media interview granted by current governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, where Wike falsely accused Dame Judith Amaechi, the wife of our boss of extorting and collecting monthly, between Two and Three Million Naira from Commissioners and Local Government Council chairmen respectively, while her husband was the State governor.

Realizing the magnitude and gravity of this allegation, the Council Chairmen and Commissioners deem it necessary to make this public clarification in the interest of our teeming supporters and Rivers people.

1. Nyesom Wike since his assumption to office appears to have a major agendum, which is to tarnish the sterling reputation of former Governor Amaechi, his erstwhile benefactor. He is bereft of ideas and unprepared for the task of governing a heterogeneous state like Rivers.
2. Wike, while serving as the Chief of Staff to Governor Amaechi interfaced regularly with Council Chairmen. With this rare privilege and his avarice plus his corrupt tendencies, he elected to commit a lot of fraudulent and sharp practices including massive looting and various degree of financial extortion on the council chairmen and commissioners who felt hapless due to his perceived closeness to the governor as the chief of staff.
3. On several occasions, Wike hiding under the subterfuge of his office as intermediary between the then governor and other elected or appointed public officials made financial demands and extorted money from council chairmen including arm twisting them to award contracts to him.
4. It is on record that several LGA projects then, including the new secretariat of Port Harcourt City Council and Etche Council, were done by Wike. Council chairmen and State officials were forced
to contribute several millions of naira to Wike under the pretext of fighting his legal battle with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) when he was arrested and tried for corruption. For the most flimsy excuses Wike placed hefty levies on council chairmen. Failure to pay are usually met with stiff sanctions
5. Governor Wike is indeed morally bankrupt and cannot point accusing fingers at the wife of former governor Amaechi. In fact the then chief of staff to Amaechi gave stern directives to council chairmen never to support the activities of the wife of the governor.
6. We want to state that no Council Chairman either individually or as a group of chairmen or State Commissioners were told, coerced, intimidated or persuaded to pay any money to the wife of the former Governor. And no money was given to her
7. Gov. Wike lacks moral rectitude. He is bereft of ideas and has no respect for his wife, hence this shameful attempt to drag the name and reputation of the wife of his former boss into disrepute.
8. Governor Wike is too economical with the truth and is in fact a pathological liar who should be ignored. His allegation is baseless, untrue and a figment of his warped imagination.
9. Former Council Chairmen and Commissioners who served under the administration of Rt. Hon.

Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi by this statement therefore warn Governor Wike against this disgraceful and disgusting mischief against the wife of Amaechi and urge him to tender an unreserved apology to the wife of the former governor immediately or be ready to face the consequences of his stupidity.

Mokhtar advised all colleges and universities to alert the police if there is any indication of possible students' involvement with drugs.

"Ensure the students come and study, and not to peddle drugs," he said.

Mokhtar was referring to the latest incident where police seized 1kg of syabu packed within cake boxes during an operation at four locations in the city on Friday.

It was a joint operation by Bukit Aman Narcotics Crime Investigation Department (NCID) and the Special Tactical Intelligence Narcotics Group (Sting).

"Five of the suspects were students, three studying multimedia and two majoring in language courses.

"Four other suspects had no documents on them, when police made the arrests during raids in Taman Danau, Setapak and along Jalan Pahang," he said.

He said statistics showed Nigerian students were the most prevalent among foreign students who were involved with drugs.

The seized drugs, said to be imported from China, were worth around RM100,000 and could satisfy 5,000 drug addicts.

The suspects have been remanded for seven days until June 23 and the case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, which provides the mandatory death sentence and under Section 6(1) (c) of the Immigration Act 1959 PIN 2002.

Kidnapper Evans Faces Death Penalty, Life Imprisonment As Ambode Signs Bill

The Lagos state Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has signed into law, the state kidnapping prohibition bill, 2016 which prescribes Life Imprisonment or death penalty for the offence of Kidnapping and forceful extortion in Lagos State, meaning that the recently arrested kidnap kingpin, Chukwudubem Onwuamadike, a.k.a. Evans may get a life imprisonment or death penalty sentence.

The law provides for death penalty for kidnappers whose victims die in their custody, and life imprisonment for the act of kidnapping.

He said that kidnapping had become a major threat to the safety of residents and, therefore, required decisive action by the government.

“This law imposes a penalty of life imprisonment for kidnapping for ransom. “The law stipulates that, where a victim dies in the course of kidnapping, the suspect is liable on conviction to death. “Security is of utmost importance to our administration, and we are confident that this law will serve as a deterrent to anybody who may desire to engage in this wicked act within the boundaries of Lagos State. “Our justice system will be required to execute this law in absolute and make sure that any criminal caught faces the full wrath of the law,” he said.

Recall that Evans himself had advised kidnappers or intending ones to desist from the act, saying it does not pay any longer. He had said that if he can be caught, then nobody can escape the police being that the force has improved greatly in her anti-crime fight.

Evans, a  billionaire kidnap kingpin had successfully  coordinated and masterminded several high profile kidnappings and armed robberies within Lagos, Anambra and Enugu States. According to him, “My advise to them is that as they are watching me standing here with policemen, they should stop everything about that, it doesn’t pay.” He gave the advise to other kidnappers while leading police operatives to two houses in Ejigbo and Igando areas of Lagos state where he keeps his victims until huge ransoms are paid. According to him, he keeps most of his victims in the two houses for months. He said he even pays up to seven hundred thousand Naira, (700,000) yearly for a three bedroom flat çells’ where the victims are kept. Upon departure from Igando area Evans had opined, “The Nigeria Police is not what it is used to be. They are far more advanced than they were. If they could arrest me, there is no criminal they can’t arrest.”

Photos: Two bribe-seeking traffic wardens dismissed from Nigeria Police

Two Traffic Wardens F/No. 394120 GDI Musa Muktari and F/No. 10627 GDII Shuaibu Suleman attached to Wuse Police Division, FCT Abuja Command have been dismissed from service with immediate effect for corrupt practice.

 

This followed an Orderly Room trial at the Provost Department, Force Headquarters Abuja in which both wardens were found guilty of abuse of office, soliciting and receiving a bribe contrary to Paragraph C sub (IV), (VI) and (II) of the 1st Schedule of the Police Act and Regulation CAP 370 of 1990.

A statement issued by Abayomi Shogunle, the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Public Complaint Rapid Response Unit (PCRRU),

on 30th May, 2017 a motorist Mr. AG (real name withheld) came to the Public Complaint Rapid Response Unit (PCRRU) FHQ Abuja and reported that while driving his vehicle on 29th May, 2017 (12:30pm) along Wuse market road he was accosted by two Traffic Wardens who accused him of “beating traffic light” despite the fact that he did not.

The wardens started demanding for bribe before they will allow him go and they led him to an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) not far from the scene where he was forced to make a withdrawal of Fifteen Thousand Naira (N15,000) from his account which he gave to the traffic wardens. He also stated that that one of the wardens forgot his mobile phone in his car.

PCRRU immediately launched an investigation (Tracking Number #PCRRU475669), both traffic wardens where identified and apprehended. The sum of N15,000 earlier extorted from the complainant was recovered from both wardens (N7,500 each as money was already shared).

Both wardens were subsequently defaulted and referred to the Force Provost Marshal FHQ Abuja for Orderly Room trial during which all witnesses were called, exhibits were presented and defaulters (both wardens) heard. 

The Adjudicating officer found both defaulters guilty as charged and recommended punishment of dismissal from service. The orderly room proceeding has been reviewed by the appropriate NPF authority and the punishment approved with immediate effect. Traffic warden uniforms, ID cards and all police accoutrements issued to the men have been retrieved and all other dismissal procedure completed.

The complainant has also been handed back his N15,000 [photo attached] with an apology from the PCRRU. The visibly delighted man while collecting his money said:

"I never thought this could happen in this country; the officers punished and my money returned to me. God bless the IG, I will go out and spread the news about PCRRU to everyone".

Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Ibrahim Idris has commended the complainant for exposing this unprofessional and unacceptable conduct of these traffic wardens.

"We will not allow corrupt practices to continue". IGP stated.

He equally enjoins members of the public to make use of the PCRRU platform which is available 24/7
