Kudos and Knocks

Kudos
Kudos to the Nigerian Navy for deeming it necessary to constitute a body that will probe the alleged extortion of motorists by its personnel in Port arena along the Apapa/Oshodi Expressway.

It was reported during the week that the agency frowned at the development and is working to clear its name from the mess.

This is one good example that every agency should emulate if sanity is to return to the various sectors of the country.

However, the Navy should ensure that the probe is total and genuine in order to truly fish out culpable officers, to serve as deterrent to others with similar motive.

Ears are on ground as nigeriamaritime360.com is sniffing for possible outcome of the probe to know if substance is made out of the case.

Do the right thing; don’t shield bribe collecting officers if there are any among you.

Knocks
How on earth do you describe a situation where same people crying foul over a matter, turn around to perpetrate the evil they accuse others of.

Truckers were last week fingered in the same extortion allegation they accused the Nigerian Navy, Police and other security agencies in charge of traffic management along Apapa road.

One now begins to worry if the chance to clear the unholy toll is the reason they have been accusing other agencies of extortion.

Recall that the federal government has excused the Nigerian Navy from the management of Apapa gridlock due to hues of extortion.

The purpose of the N3000 collection is yet to be explained but the truck drivers call it extortion perhaps because it is not receipted.

Oh, is that why the task force officers of the truck unions are always resplendent on the roads?

Something must be done fast so that it won’t turn out that the allegation against other security agencies is a case of calling a dog a bad name so as to hang it.
