A Divisional Police Officer (DPO), SP Daniel Amah, rejected $200,000 bribe
President Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday, presented a Divisional Police Officer (DPO), SP Daniel Amah, with a Public Service Integrity Award for displaying exceptional courage and integrity in the discharge of his duties.
Amah, an indigene of Plateau, received the award from President Buhari in Abuja at the 4th National Summit on Diminishing Corruption in the Public sector, with the theme, ‘Corruption and the Education Sector’.
Amah, a DPO in Bompai Kano, rejected $200,000 bribe to sweep under the carpet a case involving a Bureau De Change Operator, Ali Zaki, who connived with other criminally-minded individuals to rob a Nigerian (names withheld) of $750,000.
The DPO, who handled the case, rejected $200,000 bribe to kill the case and brought the suspect to book.
In his remarks, Buhari congratulated the awardee for his outstanding behaviour and used the medium to call on other Nigerians holding public offices to emulate the gesture, stressing “we need to kill corruption for Nigeria to move forward”.
