Nigeria: Police reward officer who rejected $200,000 bribe

Daniel Amah, the Divisional Police Officer of Nasarawa Station in Kano State, has been rewarded for rejecting a $200,000 bribe in a case of alleged armed robbery.

The Superintendent of Police got a commendation from the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, for exhibiting what he described as “sound professionalism.”

The Police chief in a letter of commendation to Amah noted that the professional attitude displayed by the DPO  led to the arrest of the suspected armed robbery syndicate in Kano.

“The Divisional Police Officer in charge of Nasarawa Division in Kano State, SP Daniel Itse Amah, has been commended for his integrity and exhibition of sound professionalism leading to the arrest of an armed robbery syndicate despite being offered a bribe of 200,000 USD to look away, which he rejected,” the statement read
