Nigerian Police boss, IG – Mike Okiro, whose tenure as inspector general of police yesterday was bade farewell with a credibility dent. And that is exactly why he won’t let go, those who have succeeded in dragging his hard earned name into the scam mud. If his threat to sue the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation is anything to go by, the one hundred million Naira will actually metamorphose to one billion naira.
According to Chief Okiro, who cleared the air this morning, he never took N166 million loan, instead what he obtained from Lead bank was N100 million, which he used to execute a family business and has paid back long ago. Interesting how time flies, and how the history of the Office the Police IG keep repeating itself with the unholy christening of its holders as either a thief, a loot or a billionaire of a demeaning identity only when they are about to leave office.
You may recall that when former IG – Tafa Balogun retired from that same office, Dr. Sunday Ehindero took over from him; the credibility spoil equally smeared his newly launch uniform just about the time he was to office for Mike Okiro, who will most likely hand over to Mr. Ogbonaya Onovo. One hopes that history shall not be enacted on innocent Onovo, whom the executive has ticked as successor to Chief Okiro.
Meanwhile if the entire hullabaloo turns out in favor of Okiro; we may not be able to find a detergent that can launder the whole of one sixty-six million dents. So those who find it very easy to mar other people’s interest or integrity should be mindful of the difficulty in righting the wrong.
