Adeniran further urged the Police force to adhere to the dictate of the constitution saying: “If we are living in a better society, crime will not be the bane of the society. There is a need for our police force to change their attitude towards corruption. When senior police officers don’t condone corruption, it will be hard for their subordinate to perpetuate corruption”. In the same vein, Area Commander of Area F, Olusoji Akinbayo in his remarks said: “When I joined the police force, my salary was N200 and it was enough to take me home. “When people know that you are stubborn doing the right thing, they will respect you for it. There are things you will do that people will hate you for but continue to do the right thing. “Although there are consequences for such act but let the truths prevail”.
