 An entire state four mobile police officers have been honored for their refusal to accept a hefty bribe of 8.5 million Naira from a suspected kidnapper during a routine stop-and-search operation. Speaking at a press ceremony, as a brief ceremony, beg your pardon in Jalingo, the State Capitol, the State Commissioner of Police, C.P. Iloyanomon, emphasized the impotence of integrity and professionalism among law enforcement personnel. He also promised to recommend them for promotion to the Inspector General of Police, R.G.P.

This commendation is coming after these four officers intercepted a vehicle at the Kapanti-Napuche point and discovered a large sum of money suspected to be proceeds from criminal activities. Despite the suspected attempt to bribe them for his release, the officers stood firm in upholding the law. As a trained personnel, and even before we move out on special duty that very same day, we were briefed by our unit commander, that is ASP Hamza Berde, never to give room to any corrupt practice or whatsoever relevant to it, of which we walked towards Hawaii to see, okay, such amount we cannot be able to accept and allow you go free, based on him offering that money for us. And on 29th of January, these officers, you can see them behind me, were posted here on routine checks at the checkpoint, where they intercepted a starlet car carrying about three pesos. On suspicion, they stopped these starlets ordering the occupants to come down for check. On the process, they discover some huge amount of money, amounting to 8.8 million, five hundred and fifty-five thousand area in their position. They could not give satisfaction account of this money. On the process, two of them took their heels, but then the one that was apprehended offered them the bribe of that eight hundred and eight million, five hundred and fifty-five million.
