A huge majority of Nigerians are mistrustful of the police and law enforcement in Nigeria, with many believing that they are lazy and refuse to work.
There are a ton of stories about the evil that some law enforcement agents perpetrate, so it is a breath of fresh air when they are commended for doing right.
A resident of Ibadan posted photos of a policewoman carrying out her duties even under the rain and directing traffic as she should. He wrote a post about her diligence.
It said, “We are quick to point it out when our police do something wrong,
“Today I saw a police woman in the rain, drenched and still doing her duty. Actively doing her job, despite the rain. Not running for shelter even though no one would blame her if she did. This is the kind of person that lifts the image of the Nigerian Police Force.
“Her name is Maryam, I didn’t get her last name properly or her rank. Her devotion to duty made the difference in a place synonymous with traffic gridlock on a day that isn’t comfortable. She doesn’t have the kind of salary or allowance that our public officials boast of but she gives meaning to the title “Civil Servant”. Help us make Maryam Opep famous, help us show others what devotion to duty is.”
