Pictures of a female cop in Ibadan directing motorists drenched in the rain have flooded the internet.
Authorities of the Nigeria Police Force seem to be aware of the photographs now.
The photos were shared on the official Facebook page of the Force not too long ago.
The action of the woman, who appears to be in the rank of Sergeant, has been commended by many Nigerians.
A Facebooker who shared the pictures wrote, “We are quick to point it out when our police do something wrong.
“Today, I saw a police woman in the rain, drenched and still doing her duty; actively doing her job, despite the rain. Not running for shelter even though no one would blame her if she did.
“This is the kind of person that lifts the image of the Nigerian Police Force. Her name is Maryam, I didn’t get her last name properly or her rank. Her devotion to duty made the difference in a place synonymous with traffic gridlock on a day that isn’t comfortable.
“She doesn’t have the kind of salary or allowance that our public officials boast of but she gives meaning to the title ‘Civil Servant’.
“Help us make Maryam Opep famous, help us show others what devotion to duty is. Please share.”
