Policeman Returns N150,000 Recovered From Robbers
A Nigerian Police officer recovered huge sums from robbers on Friday in
Abuja after a spontaneous chase on his power bike in a rare display of
exemplary policing.
The robbers, riding on a lower engine motor-bike snatched a money bag containing N150,000 from the victim as he walked out of a bank in heart of the Area 3 part of town.
The victim’s call for help drew the attention of the police officer, Abu Tanko, a Police motorcycle rider attached to the Force Headquarters Abuja.
Mr Tanko swiftly chased the robbers as they fled off with the cash. After few kilometers, at a point around the neighbouring Area 8, he caught with the robbers. The the robbers flung the money bag and ran away as he slowed down to pick up the bag.
Heroic Mr. Tanko returned to the scene about 15 minutes later with the whole sum of money intact and handed it in the bewildered owner before a cheering crowd.
Nigerian police officers are notorious for corruption and instability around money, forcing most Nigerians to rely on self-help or alternative security.
“It is an indication that there are still a few ones out there,” the force said in a Facebook post it made about the heroic officer. “All hope is not yet lost!”
The police advised distressed citizens to always call its officers because they institutionally required to respond to all distress calls.

Nigerian Dies At JFK Airport In New York
A man died from a heart attack at JFK early Saturday after not one, but
two, sets of paramedics were delayed by inoperative security badges at
the newly renovated, $1.4 billion Terminal 4, the Post reports.
50-year-old Gunseye Adekunle was preparing to board an Arik Air flight to Nigeria when he went into cardiac arrest. A Port Authority police emergency operator got the call around 6:30 a.m. and was told Adekunle was “unresponsive” but breathing. A Port Authority ambulance was immediately dispatched, but the crew was unable to enter the terminal from the street "because an officer's security card wasn't working," the tabloid reports.
Though the EMTs quickly found an alternate entrance, the snafu nevertheless cost the crew—and Adekunle—two minutes, a not insignificant amount of time when treating a heart attack. The fire department was slated to take over, but ran into similar problems when the Port Authority officer escorting the team was also denied entry by the terminal's security system, which refused to recognize his access card, too.
Finally, Adekunle was transported from the terminal to the FDNY ambulance—no security cards are necessary to exit the airport—and brought to Jamaica Hospital, where he was declared dead. A Port Authority spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Construction for Terminal 4 began in 2010, and opened to the public in May. Among its amenities, the terminal boasts "a consolidated security check point," and "more efficient screening." According to JFK's website, Terminal 4 "is one of the most modern, efficient, spacious and unique terminals in the New York area," and a "successful paradigm for air terminal management."
Update, 4 p.m.: A spokesperson from Port Authority said that technically, there was no delay when it came to administering aid to Adekunle, since a customs official present for the incident began performing CPR immediately after the heart attack occurred.
The spokesperson added that the incident is under investigation. As of now, no changes have been made to the security doors or to Port Authority personnel's badges.
