We were also able to get in touch with the motorist/complainant, Mr.
Meshach Orolugbagbe, involved in the incident who also provided details
that clarified exactly what happened.
3/7
Our findings revealed that: – Mr. Orolugbagbe was trying to merge
into a lane when he was accosted. He was not driving against traffic as
the officer initially claimed with pictorial evidence that could not
justify the claim.

The officer actually induced the complainant to part with the money offered contrary to her claim that it was given voluntarily.

The investigating team further recommended that, having found it
incontrovertible that the officer acted in a manner that portrays the
Agency, and indeed the State, in a bad light, she should be sanctioned
in line with the provisions of the Public Service Rules (PSR).
6/7
In accordance with the recommendation, disciplinary measures will be taken against the officer as the PSR dictates.
Management.
