Not all police officers are corrupt

Not all policemen are corrupt, at least not all the time. I was very impressed and infact excited and encouraged that all hope is not lost to corruption in our nations, by the gallant performance of a police officer who went on a rescue mission alone.

As reported by a Nigerian newspaper, Leadership Newspaper, on November 6, 2014, one miss Jessica Albah was attacked and bruised by four hoodlums at Berger Bridge in Abuja, Nigeria. When she managed to escape with tourned cloths she reported her ordeal to a lone policeman whom she met at a near by check point just as she was running away from the hoodlums. The lone officer responded immediately and was able to shoot one and arrest the other attackers who were still busy ransacking Jessica's bag at the Spot where they had attacked her. Kudos to our officer; you represent what the community expects of every security officer. Your swift response without excuses or any superior directive, and without seeking immediate personal gains, as is often the case for corrupt officers, is highly commendable. It would have be very nice if your name was published along with the story, but I believe for security reasons it was not.

However, just know that whoever and wherever you are, your good work is highly appreciated by men and God. Keep up the good work officer! I call on other security personnel to emulate this in policing and soldiering our communities and nations.
