I know a retired police man, a devout Christian,
While in service, they nicknamed him "Pastor" , he suffered bad posting for about 34yrs...
He rose from constable to DSP,
His popular name den was "HE NO DEY GIVE, HE NO DEY TAKE" ..
Meaning he doesn't give bribe to get good posting neither does he takes bribe from civilians.
Most people he worked with never liked him because they saw him as a spoiler.
He was posted from one bad posting to another, he was never posted anywhere there was any reasonable allowance.
Anywhere genuine money dey, he will not be posted there because they disliked him generally for his stand.
He stood for righteousness and never liked cheating innocent people.
So some big men didn't like him
If anyone did anything evil in his presence he would expose them and make them face the wrath of the law.
From one State to another, he was transferred and he kept moving.
This was how he moved about for 34yrs and 5months.
For all of the years he worked, he had no land talk more of a house, but he managed to train his four children in school with his meagre salary and petty trading his wife was doing to support the family.
He had about 7months to retire from service when he was posted to the Police Force Headquarters Abuja on standby duty.
He was in charge of standby men at the Force Headquarters.
To be continued.....
