50% Of My Telephone Calls Are Nasty– Ngozi Braide

Ngozi Braide

The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, Ngozi Braide, speaks with PunchNG 

Some people alleged that you didn’t get the PPRO job on merit, but through closeness to some men at the top hierarchy in the force. Is this true?

You know the irony is when people gossip about you, you are usually the last to hear it. The gossip must have gone round but I never heard about it. I can tell that I got to this position through hard work. I wasn’t just handpicked. There was an interview and I emerged the best. If people are saying that, it’s their problem. I am not saying that people are not talking about me, but I am saying that I do not care. I don’t even see this as the peak of my career. There is more for me to accomplish. I see this position as a normal police assignment just as I had worked in other departments before getting here – I worked in Interpol, Special Fraud unit, Intelligence Unit and IG monitoring Unit before I came to the Public Relations Unit.

LAWMAKERS MAY LOSE DIPLOMATIC PASSPORTS

There were feelers last night that the federal government has directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to revoke all diplomatic passports in the possession of senators and members of the House of Representatives.

Since the news broke on Friday night, legislators have been calling one another to ascertain the truth or otherwise of the allegation. While some of them allege that the comptroller-general of immigration is behind it, others say it is aimed at giving the lawmakers a hint of things to come if they do not fall into line.
