When I got back to Abuja, a police officer stopped me and asked where I was going. I told him I was going into FCT. He politely asked if I could give his colleague a lift, and I agreed.
As we got close to Giri junction, I asked the police officer where he was going. He said Zuba, while I was going through Lugbe into town. I told him Zuba is not far and transport there is usually around ₦200–₦300.
I asked if he was stopping there or going further. That was when he told me something sad. He said he was going home to see his newborn twins for the first time after 10 months because he was not given leave. Sadly, his wife had called to say one of the babies had died, and she begged him to come quickly to see the other twin.
I asked why he didn’t travel earlier. He said he was waiting for his salary since it was already the 2nd, but it was not paid. When I asked how he wanted to finish the journey, he showed me all the money he had—₦4,500, which was not enough.
I felt bad and gave him ₦20,000. I also took his number and promised to call and check on the baby.
I want to ask a question, please..
Are these the police officers we expect to lay down their lives in our protection? You’re owing police officers, and you want them to be effective while fighting insecurity?
Honestly, this is very sad.
