Daniel Amah, the Divisional Police Officer of Nasarawa Station in Kano State, has received a reward after refusing to take a $200,000 bribe in a case involving an alleged armed robbery.

Usman Baba, the Inspector-General of Police, praised Amah, a Superintendent of Police, for displaying "sound professionalism."

The suspected armed robbery syndicate in Kano was apprehended as a result of the DPO's professional demeanour, the IGP said in a letter of commendation to Amah.

The case has been sent to Abuja for a covert inquiry, according to the Force Public Relations Officer, who revealed the IGP's praise in a statement on Wednesday.

“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.

The IGP also congratulated two additional officers who work in Imo and Katsina for their outstanding performance. They are Police Constable Nura Mande and Inspector Ekene Ndukwu.

In the early hours of August 4, Ndukwu allegedly set up an ambush and killed two members of a bandit gang who broke into his home.

The Inspector "surprised the bandits with heavy gunfire which thwarted their attacks," a Force official said.

At the Hajj Camp in Katsina State, Mande on the other hand, discovered and brought back an envelope containing 800 USD that belonged to an elderly intending pilgrim.

Additionally, Baba commanded all police officers and officers to emulate the honourable behaviour of these outstanding cops.

He equally asked them to continually exemplify good conduct, integrity, bravery and gallantry in the discharge of their policing responsibilities.
