Two policemen, Garba Rabo and Jamilu Buhari have been rewarded with One million naira in Kano State for rejecting bribe offers.
Rabo is an Inspector attached to the Kano Command’s Department of Operations, while Jamilu Buhari is attached to Kano State Consumer Protection Council (KCPC).
Kano Police Commissioner Sama’ila Shu’aibu Dikko, handed the reward to them on Monday.
In a statement, Kano police spokesman, DSP Abdullahi Haruna, said the money was donated by the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) Zone 2 Command, Onikan Lagos, Nigeria, France Chapter, through the Retired Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 2 Lagos, AIG Ahmed Iliyasu.
Haruna said that the development came after the Kano State Government, through the Managing Director (MD) of Kano Road and Traffic Agency (KAROTA), DR Baffa Babba Dan Agundi, donated One million naira to the officers.
In his remarks, DR Baffa Babba Dan Agundi of KAROTA said the good conduct by the police officers was indeed worthy of emulation by the rest of the officers especially the younger ones who just stepped their foot into the Force.
He said this shows that there is still greater hope for Nigeria and the commission, pointing out that despite the challenges bedeviling society, they distinguished themselves and proved to be heroes or icons in the commission and society.
Dr Agundi contended that the two policemen have made everyone to know that integrity and discipline are the hard currency that money can not buy and are attributes one can only attain by dedication, honesty as well as a structured and focused life.
