There will be no cover-up in the case of the Assistant Commissioner of Police arrested with two point seven million naira bribe.

This is because the Nigeria Police has taken all necessary actions provided in the Police Act and Regulations in respect of the case.

Its Head, Compliant Response Unit, Abayomi Shogunle, said the officer in question had already been issued a query and a criminal investigation had been conducted by the X-squad, saying the officer had since responded to the query and had faced the Force Disciplinary Committee,FDC.

Shogunle, an Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police said the FDC had made its recommendations to the Inspector-General of Police, which had been forwarded to the Police Service Commission for ratification, saying the processes needed have been done and all they were just waiting for was the recommendations of the Commission.

He pointed out that it was when the Commission informed the Inspector-General of Police on the matter that the Compliant Response Unit would in turn inform the public on the matter.

Shogunle said I-G had directed the unit to ensure it discharged its responsibilities without impunity in line with its motto.

It would be recalled that information about the recovery of the N2.7 million bribe money from the officer in question was made known in the third quarter report of the CRU, signed by Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police Abayomi Shogunle, Head of CRU in Abuja.

The report said the recovery followed a complaint made to the CRU through a telephone call.

On alleged preferential treatment for senior officers, Shogunle said the unit had taken up all cases against all police officers irrespective of their ranks.

Shogunle assured that all complaints irrespective of the ranks of the persons would be treated based on merit, adding that the rule of law would always prevail.

He said there was cordial working relationship between the Nigeria Police Force through the CRU and human rights groups in the country.
