He wrote:
“Bribery holds major devastating effects for citizens and the development of the country. The 2017 National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) survey reports that an estimated 400billion are paid in bribes each year.
“The survey also records that the highest forms of bribe cases implicates Security/entrusted officials (police, immigration officers, customs officers etc.) who are entrusted with upholding the rule of law.
“Shockingly, it has also been reported that 56% of People who resisted paying bribes suffered several consequences in forms of loss of jobs, loss of properties, loss of lives etc.
“Recently, the mainstream news has reported several cases of citizens losing their lives at gunpoint due to their resistance of paying bribes, this literally confirms the maxim ‘Corruption kills’!”
