The seven police officers - ACP Damien Okoro, the Area Commander 'Festac', DSP Imoh Gregory, Woman ASP Mariam Ogunmolasuyi, ASP Agbaje Yakubu, Inspector Edo Joseph, Woman Sergeant Patience Biokoro and Sergeant Frank Okorobon all of Area 'E' Festac, Lagos, were awarded 'NOA Civic Recognition Award'.
The director general of NOA said the agency decided to honour the police officers because they did an excellent job. The DG said:
The whole nation was gripped with anger, fear and rage when this ugly, unfortunate incident occurred. These patriotic officers stuck out their necks to unravel the mystery. What you did restored Nigeria to the rest of the civilized world. You also restored some sort of succour to the family by arresting those that committed the dastardly act. When people are making such efforts, you must tell them they are doing well. It is for this reason we are recognizing you".Well, it's their job na, abi? #justsaying! But maybe in Nigeria police officers need this kind of award to encourage them to do their jobs properly!
Kudos.....dem try!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, pls say sth about this new tenement rate in lag ooooooo. Fashola is starting to irritate me. His excesses are getting too much. As a result of the land use charge, our house was valued @ 180 million naira, and I sure as heck know the house is not worth more than 40 million. Rent will go up for tenants in lag o. Cos I don't think most of the landlords will want to pay that money from their pocket o.

ReplyDeleteAWARDS? FOR DOING THEIR JOBS? INCENTIVES ONLY CREATE MORE PROBLEMS. NOBODY WOULD WANT TO DO THEIR JOB UNLESS THERE WAS A CHANCE OF RECOGNITION FOR THEIR EFFORTS. AND WHAT ABOUT VICTIMS FROM POOR FAMILIES? WITH NO ONE TO OFFER AWARDS FOR SOLVING THEIR CRIMES, THEY ARE...HOW TO PUT THIS DELICATELY? SCREWED.

ReplyDeletein bid to attract an award, I take God beg ina o.
It is actually their job. But when ever a job is well done, a little pat on the back to say one has done well will encourage them to do more and also open the eyes of others to do their job diligently. Ms Abi
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely true... ~Avryl~

ReplyDeleteWell done to them. NOW INVESTIGATE UGO OZUAHS MURDERERS
ReplyDeletere dis guys still alive??
ReplyDeleteThey tried, they should be honoured.
ReplyDeleteIts your job to post on your blog, you get paid for it. Does that mean you can't be nominated for awards like future awards etc? #justsayingtoo.
ReplyDelete'thank you' goes a long way. When we are appreciated we feel loved.
ReplyDeleteOf course, they need incentives
ReplyDeleteis it not bcos d victim was a retired general`s daughter.wat wld have happened if it were 2 be ordinary ``us``
ReplyDeleteFoolish criminals in uniform!
ReplyDeleteGBAM!!!
DeleteIta waaaay too early for any form of recognition. What exactly is the recognition for anyways, in my opinion they did not go over and above the call of duty to track down the killers, this their job spec, the exact reason for being in the force.
ReplyDeleteNigerians have PHd's for patting themselves on the back.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but I aint moved by these awards. This is what the POLICE is meant to do; that is their job for crying out loud!
These men were pressured from above; that was why they were able to get to the bottom of the matter.
How many high profile cases have the Nigerian Police handled to the letter? Also the girl's father retired as a top ranking military officer so why won't the case be handled with swiftness?
If the Nigerian Police Force can be this efficient, we won't have so many unresolved cases.
For those who have the opportunity of travelling outside Nigeria and seeing how the Police in other countries operate, won't you say this award is unnecessary?
I agree everyone needs encouragement but in this case, it's just not necessary. They should be commended by given an award? I rest my case.
You said my mind.
DeleteA good tin to do sha,bur letz b real, shey no b bcoz na RTd general daughter, if na common "mama sunday pikin"......?
ReplyDeleteIn as much Ą̸̸̨͡s its dia job linda u nid 2 encourage dem, afterall footballers get extra pay if dey score Ą̸̸̨͡ goal even Ѡε̲̣̣̣п̥̥̲̣̣̣̥ dey r on weekly nd appearance salary. So I support Τ̲̅ђe act nd kudos 2 dem it shows dia ïS̶̲̥̅ Ą̸̸̨͡ slight hope in Τ̲̅ђe force

ReplyDeleteLinda, what is going on about those 2 guys that died inside swimming pool..Police should be able to find out about that....i know if is a rich man pikin now,we go see am for news paper and new news about it everyday
ReplyDeleteIn advanced countries, police are often not honored for this type of things.
ReplyDeleteIn Nigeria, police should be honored for these types of things because the average police if truly messed up and you need ways to motivate them to do their job.
So I agree that they should be honored because it will motivate other police officers.
You know Naija people (Governors, Presido, Doctor, Pastors, Engineers, Entertainers, Bankers, the average Naija person for street...etc) like to be recognized..., even for the smallest things. So why not police officers too? They have to show they be big boy too now. lol.
they should investigate Dele giwa,Bola Ige and the other people case.
