HE IS A NIGERIAN. A native of Ekiti State, who had his eyes on plans to learn the art of good policing in the society and save humanity from the barrage of crime in every neighborhood. OLAJIDE AYENI, a Naturalized American migrated to the United States to learn the best practices of American policing.
This Nigerian attended America Police Academy, came tops, and confronted crimes in any neighborhood whenever 911 calls buzz on his walkie-talkie; thereby prioritising the safety of any American in danger over his own personal safety.
The intelligent super cop never for once ‘called-in or give excuses not coming to work’ in times of rain or sunshine. He is always on duty-at work, stopping crimes in every community and neighborhood. He has not missed his weekly 40 hours work itinerary.
