Sama’ila Shu’aibu-Dikko, the commissioner of police in Kano, has rewarded two officers of the command, Garba Saleh-Rabo and Jamilu Alkassim, for rejecting N1 million bribe.
The officers, attached to the Kano state consumer protection task force, reportedly rejected the bribe offered by a suspected dealer of expired products in the city.
The police commissioner described the action of the officers as worthy of emulation.
He said that the officers following intelligence had stormed a warehouse loaded with expired products worth billions of naira.

Shu’aibu-Dikko said that the owner of the expired products in a bid to circumvent the law offered the officers a bribe, which they turned down and got him arrested.
“The two personnel while working with the Consumer Protection Council Task Force received information that expired goods worth billions of naira were kept in a warehouse,” he said.
“They stormed the location and were offered N1 million bribe. They rejected the bribe, recovered the expired goods and arrested the suspect as well as brought the money as exhibit.”

The police commissioner said the consumer protection agency, in turn, presented N1 million to the officers as a reward for their commitment and selfless service.
Shu’aibu-Dikko urged other officers in the command to emulate their colleagues whom he said brought honour to the police command in the state.
