The situation has sparked serious questions from the public:

• Are police officers being paid on time to prevent such misconduct?

This is What the Police IG Posted.

“This afternoon, while traveling back from Nimba, I witnessed a troubling scene. Some highway patrol officers were soliciting bribes from drivers, which highlights the need to address some of the critical issues affecting our force.

 However, our priority remains maintaining the highest standards of service, integrity, and professionalism.

These officers have been handed over to the Professional Standards Division for further disciplinary action. We are dedicated to restoring public trust and ensuring that every officer serves with honesty, respect, and a commitment to the rule of law.”
