NIGERIAN ASSOCIATION FOR FAMILY DEVELOPMENT RELEASE COMMUNIQUE ON 18 BIENNIAL CONFERENCE HELD IN AWKA. (PHOTOS). #PRESS RELEASE

A Superintendent of Police, Ibrahim Sini has said he turned down a N150m bribe allegedly offered to him by a Lagos-based businessman, Akintoye Akindele to have peace of mind.
Akindele who was arraigned for the offence at the Federal High Court in Abuja in August 2023 was remanded in the Kuje correctional centre.
According to the charge sheet, the bribe was offered to allow police to permit him to escape abroad and to write a favourable report for him after the investigation.
Sini was said to have led the Inspector General of Policeās team of investigators handling the case against the businessman.
Speaking at a dinner organised to honour him on Friday, Sini said, āI am very happy to be here and I want to appreciate the organisers of this programme. They have beat my imagination and they have added more grease to my elbow.
At the event, Sini was given a plot of land in Abuja.
āYes, I remember when the incident happened, the person in question asked me, do you want to be rich? He said, this is an opportunity for you to be rich.
āSo what I said was that it depends on the kind of riches. I would like to have money that I can lay my head down and sleep at night. I donāt want to have something that will make me think twice and be running from one hole to another. So, I would like to do justice and have peace of mind.
āSo, I decided to do the right thing so that I can have peace of mind and also stand to do what is right for myself, for my organisation, that is, the Nigeria Police and also for the country at large.ā
He advised youths in the country not to trade their integrity for anything.
Presenting the document of the land to Sini, the Federal Capital Territory Commissioner of Police, Benneth Igweh said SP Siniās conduct has brought pride to the Nigerian Police Force.
