        Sadly egbon, you obviously don't know what negativism is completely. NGPolice is known for bribery from heads to least ranks since establishment. So why is my narrative negative now? Did they provided proof? My proof is out there. Please help me then on police issue now

        I know police officers who are incorruptible. I'm the son of a former policeman and I can vouch for my father. He left in annoyance for injustice. That does not mean that there are no good ones. A blanket condemnation of all because of the corrupt majority is negative sir.

        The evidence I asked for is against this one man being honored. O'course I understand your point but then if there's any good one being recognized we shouldn't pull him down.

        Ok but, Me; As far as its Nigeria Police, that institution is a composite of corruptness and corrupt personalities. Everything that trades within that circle is corruption. I don't have to be absolutely correct, but in my 3 decades of existence, its nothing far of corruption.
