Speaking through his Special Adviser on Special Duties, Dr Doyin Odebowale, who visited the state boundaries on Sunday, alleged that the police were frustrating the effort of the government at containing the spread of the deadly disease by allowing people to enter the state after paying a bribe to the police.
Addressing the policemen, Odebowale said, “You people are supposed to turn back any unauthorised vehicles but you allow them to pass through. You are corrupt. You are not doing your work.” However, the head of the police team, Mr Ebisine Amy, denied the allegation, saying the policemen at the boundary were doing the work professionally.
“We don’t collect money from anybody and no vehicle has passed through this place. My men are doing their work accordingly,” he said. The Chairman of the Inter-ministerial Committee on COVID-19 who is also the state Commissioner for Health, Dr Wahab Adegbenro, said the state was doing everything within its power to stop the spread of the pandemic.All rights reserved.

True their collecting it
We know that already. When you people at the top have failed to do the needful, surely our lives are threatened either ways. ...Covid, Hunger or Bandits.
It's their daily practice Sir, we need to declare a state of emergency on PoliceNG
That's what they do every where.
That’s it; tough to manage.
Normal level na
That's Nigeria Police for you. They are betrayal. May God deliver them.
You knew this will happen knowing their history. But you didn't send out undercover agents to checkmate this bad character... Shouting after death.
That is what dey do everywhere
U just found out? Is everywhere in all the boarders
Annnnndd water is wet.
Even if the lowest ranked policeman earns N1milliion per month, Police will still collect bribe... I wonder if it a course at their training colleges.
Don't whine, prosecute them.
Seriously, they said we are on state lockdown yet I see people coming into delta from bayelsa all d way to warri.

Did u just know they collect bribe? Abi u just want to talk ni....next page biko
It's their tradition as d body is well known for that.
Yes you are right this police guyz are so corrupt sir. I once make it know to Nigerian police that there are many bad eggs and nothing was done about that
Very true. He’s correct. The police all over are collecting bribes at boundaries therefore allowing easy passage of the virus from one state to another
What is your ametokun or whatever is the correct name meant for?
We all know that!!! Is part of Nigeria police daily activities
This is what the Federal government never admit to; hence they continue in the act nation wide.
At every border the police are collecting bribe ranging from 1000 naira to 5000 naira
Is almost everywhere, up here (Kano) they collect N200 to let you in
Not only in ondo, it’s everywhere Police and bribe are like 5&6
He just found out? It's the HQNigerianArmy at Ekiti borders to Osun and Kwara. Then you find PoliceNG at other various checkpoints. They collect those bribes like it's their birthright. It's well organized, I think it's from the top cos otherwise, they won't be so comfortable.
Is in their blood.
I still believe is not all police officer that are corrupt. We still have number good ones among them but truly if Nigeria is gonna be good- it will surely begin from Nigeria police as soon as they stop accepting bribe thing will improve positively.
This baba is a learner, is there any place where Nigerian policemen dont collect bribe.
Find buyer for 🇳🇬... has been running by criminals and nothing works.
The govt should be accused of corruption rather. These officers are on frontline yet stiffed of hazard allowances. Some use personal funds to sustain on lockdown. They face hazards everyday now, like the doctors/medical workers during these pandemic. They also deserve better.
It's Nigerian Police, they can collect bride from death itself. It's unfortunate that no amount of salary can change this! It's a fundamental problem! As long as our elected officials continue to steal billions in Abuja, police will never change!
He didn't need to accuse. Its a normal things for the police and other security you see on the road to collect it. Even the drivers are use to it. They know how much a checking point collect.
Not only in Ondo but throughout the federation.
This is no brainer. No be now we go change police way of life. Those animals always see their posting as job allowance.
