Police Officers On Patrol Help Stranded Motorist Fix Tyres, reject Monetary Gift

Three police officers from Dugbe station in Ibadan, Oyo state, on Sunday stopped on their way to help fix tyres for a stranded motorist.

This was made public Monday by a Facebook user who posted the commendable incident online.

According to the post- “Yesterday, a Nigerian had a flat tyre on Iseyin-Ibadan highway. According to him, he flagged many motorists for help because his jack got spoiled in the process of trying to change the tyre but none of them stopped, understandably.

“He has already resigned to fate until these good officers from Dugbe Police station came along. They didn’t only stopped, they went out of their way to replaced & fixed the spare tyre.

“When they were done, he begged them to take ₦3,000 as a token of appreciation but they rejected his plea. Their response was; “we didn’t stopped to assist you because of that, we are only doing our jobs”.

“The three Officers are: Officer Tunmise, Officer Daudu and Officer Michael of Dugbe police station, Ibadan),” the post said.

We at NationWide join in commending these to patriotic officers and wish that their act be noticed by the authorities to serve as motivation for others in public service.
