Operatives of Lagos State Police Rapid Response Squad (RRS) demonstrated one of the cardinal objectives of policing as it handed over a purse containing N115,000 and Techno phone which fell off while she commuted on a motorcycle as a passenger.
The police revealed that “This evening, RRS officer while on patrol along Lagos State University – Iba Road, recovered a purse which fell from the bag of a motor bike passenger.
Having picked the purse, the officer gradually followed the okada with a view to handing the lost item on to the owner. Unfortunately, the okada rider misconstrue the intention, thinking the trail was an attempt to arrest him.
Therefore, he accelerated and sped off.
However, slow but steady, the officer followed the rider to the destination of the lady and handed the purse over to her.
The lady who was filled with thanks and appreciation, confirmed that the N115,000 and Tecno phone inside the purse were intact.
Reacting to the sterling display of uncommon feat, especially at a time some members of the public have painted the force with disparaging innuendos, Oshin Patrick commenting on RRS Facebook wall said, “This crop of police officer and men, are they not part of NPF?
“They always amazed me beyond my wildest dreams. How I wish all police formation across the country can emulate their good deed across board. #KudosRRS
Long live RRS! Long Lagos State!!
Another commentator, Igwe Hosea Chibueze simply said, “Policing at its best by men of RRS Lagos #DCPdisuWonderfulBoys.
