  1. The Police Officer called Saheed Quadry is a lier and full of many atrocities. He is fond of using his position to cheat innocent citizens. some weeks ago he detained an innocent woman in Denton police Station and asked for the bribe of 80,000 naira for the offence that did not exit. The story was carried by most Nigerian paper like vanguardngr.com, Thesheet.ng etc. He is capable of faking things to collect bribe. Bad eggs should be kicked out of Police Force.
