The young woman known as Phoenix_chi on Twitter, said she reported the matter to the SARS headquarters but they demanded N300,000 to help her track and arrest the robber.
According to the lady, she later discovered that the police officer in charge of the robbery case was in a relationship with the thief he was supposed to arrest.
She wrote;
“When my home got burgled, your guys at SARS HQ asked me to pay N300k to go catch the thief at Lafia, they were more interested in how much the belongings i lost were worth than the burglary incident, last i heard the guy in charge of the case was dating the thief.
Try not to join any issue with Nigerian Police, as long as it’s not a case of murder or kidnapping…leave it to God, you cannot trust these uniformed men, they are the reason criminality is on the rise in Nigeria . I was told that the higher your lost possessions are worth, the more they are motivated to pursue the culprit.
The police guy was talking to her on whatsapp to lure her into Abuja, next thing i hear is that they are hooking up…lmao i was told by her friend my informant She and her sister….she was actually my live in help and i just fired her so she was meant to live that weekend, i left for work on the Friday so she invited her sis over and both of them cleaned me out while my sick mum was laying on the bed there, traumatic
The success of the Ksh10.8 billion fertiliser subsidy programme is in doubt after the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) was directed to suspend it until further notice.
In a National Development Implementation Committee (NDIC) meeting chaired by Prime CS Musalia Mudavadi and attended by all principal secretaries, Head of Public Service Felix Koskei, they agreed that the program would be suspended pending the investigation of allegations of fake fertiliser being distributed countrywide.
Mudavadi noted that a report would be tabled following the conclusion of investigations to review the findings.
The committee also expressed concern regarding the program, highlighting that it stands as one of the key pillars of President William Ruto’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
NDIC reaffirmed that those found culpable of sabotaging the program would face the full force of the law.
“Further, PSs were guided to ensure that the laws relating to the procurement were fully complied with and to ensure that adequate and thorough due diligence was conducted to avoid dealing with mediocre entities that lack integrity and capacity to deliver on goods and services contracted for,” the statement read in part.
Earlier, Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi rubbished claims of fake subsidised fertiliser, noting that the product undergoes scientific examinations and approvals before circulation to Kenyan farmers.
“The fertiliser being distributed is one that has undergone various levels of approval. We cannot allow a situation where our farmers are hoodwinked,” Linturi stated in Nakuru on March 26, 2024.
President Ruto had also warned cartels selling fake fertiliser would ‘face the music.’
“We are going to make sure that those who sell fake seeds and fake fertiliser face the music that they deserve,” Ruto stated on Wednesday, March 27.
Other resolutions made during the meeting involved forming corruption prevention committees to be chaired by the PSs in their respective ministries. These committees would be essential in curbing graft in the government.
The PSs were also directed to develop a framework that reviews existing Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with other countries to monitor progress. This is after concern was raised that several bilateral agreements signed by Kenya and other countries were yet to materialise..CONTINUE READING>>
