A Nigerian Police Officer Who ‘Rejected N864m Bribe’ Resigns From Nigerian Police after been denied Promotion


The Akwa Ibom state Chief Superintendent of Police, Francis Osagie Erhabor who denied N864 million has tendered a resignation letter from the service.

Well, in an interview with Ibere TV, Mr Erhabor, made known that he was only promotion 5 times in over 30 years in active service.

Going further, he added that, he has been denied promotion after applying for the position over three times as he qualifies for the position.


Igbere TV in December honoured Mr Erhabor as ‘Police officer of the year’ – it said the officer came top in a nationwide online voting.

In a statement he said

“I have witnessed my juniors get promoted over me over and over again, and it hurts deeply.

I filed a complaint, asked for ratification of my promotion date, and was even investigated, with the outcome verified in my favour, yet nothing has been done to remedy the situation. I have wasted 30 years serving my fatherland."

He also added that he joined the Nigerian police command as a cadet inspector 30 years ago, in 1990, when he was just a little above 17.

Mr Erhabor said he was told at that time that “the nation’s police needed young people like him who were patriotic and passionate”

This profession I once called a noble one, doesn’t care about those of us who tread the path of honour and dignity.”
