It is an open secret that we have a lot of ACP Daniel Itse Amahs among us, it is just that they are not being recognized.<\/p>\n \u201cPlease, don\u2019t try to corrupt security men; members of the public should refrain from trying to corrupt us.\u201d<\/p>\n He, however, admitted that the Police like every other human organization, has a few bad eggs but \u201cwhen we identify such persons we show them out.<\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t condone corruption. The Nigerian Police is one organisation that exposes officers and men found to be corrupt.<\/p>\n \u201cThey are not only exposed, they are dismissed and prosecuted.<\/p>\n \u201cThe IGP has zero tolerance for corruption. The government of the day is doing everything possible to provide what the police needs to function but we need public support.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Usman Alkali-Baba, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), has urged Nigerians to refrain from attempting to corrupt security personnel, particularly the police, even as we prepare for the 2023 general elections.
