The Kano state police command has honoured two officers, Garba Rabo and Jamilu Buhari who rejected one million Naira offered them as a bribe.

Premium Times reports that the state commissioner of police, Sama’ila Dikko, called on other officers to emulate their example.

VAM News gathered that in a statement by the police spokesperson in Kano, Abdullahi Kiyawa, on Friday, March 26, said the honest officers were serving on the task force of the Consumer Protection Council (CPC) in the state when they were offered the bribe.

He noted that in the course of their operation, they received information that expired goods worth billions of naira were kept in a warehouse in the Kano metropolis.

Kiyawa said: “The task force team stormed the warehouse, where one million naira was offered them as a bribe. They rejected the bribe, recovered the expired goods, the money as an exhibit and arrested the suspect."

Sahara Reporters also reports that the acting managing director of the CPC, Baffa Dan’agundi, also commended the officers for rejecting the bribe. Dan’agundi said the council had decided to show appreciation for the good conduct of the officers by presenting them with a gift of one million Naira. He called on the people to continue to support the police and appreciate those performing their duties well.
