Police honour two officers who rejected N1 million bribe
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the Nigerian police had honoured two officers who rejected N1 million bribe.
Legit.ng 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."
