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.
He equally enjoins members of the public to make use of the PCRRU platform which is available 24/7."We will not allow corrupt practices to continue". IGP stated.
