A police Divisional Officer has rejected one million naira bribe offered to him by a suspected bandit after his arrest in a hotel in Kaduna Community.

The arrested bandit reportedly offered the bribe out of the ransom recovered from him by the police at a hotel in Tafa community.

According to the Police Command Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, on Thursday, the arrest was made on the 19th of January, 2024.

According to him, the divisional headquarters received credible information regarding the presence of the suspected person at Easyway hotel in Tafa town.

He explained that their Operatives led by the Divisional Police Officer stormed the hotel and arrested a certain 28-year-old Bello Muhammad from Zamfara State and recovered the sum of N2,350,000:00, suspected to be proceeds of kidnapping.

He said during the course of the investigation, the suspect itted to being a kidnapper who operates with his gang around Kagarko forest in Kaduna.

ASP Mansir said the aforementioned sum is the suspect’s own share of a ransom collected, adding that a check of his mobile phone corroborated the suspect’s confession as pictures of him brandishing an AK47 rifle in a forest were retrieved.

“The said suspect Bello Muhammad thus offered a million naira backhander to the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) to stop him from furthering the investigation, which the Police Officer forthwith rejected. The investigation is still ongoing as the suspect is assisting the Police with vital information,” he said.

The Commissioner of Police Kaduna State Command, A.D Ali, while praising the Tafa Division’s Operatives, urged them and others not to dwindle but to increase the tempo until crimes and criminality are reduced minimally.

The tasked hoteliers, recreation, and leisure service operators in the State to always scrutinize the identity of their customers to avoid providing criminals with a safe haven.

Hmm! Student of Evans and Chinaza

It seems like today is a really bad day for kidnappers in Nigeria 🤔.
I think any kidnapper caught and convicted should me tortured mercilessly and killed gruesomely in public to serve as deterrent to others. Those bästärdz are putting a lot of family into sorrow.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.


I TEACH PYTHON PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE 👇

Hehehe.

Yeye bandit,he should have added more money .

After all, police is our friend,just add more money to your friend,you no gree now see.

He should relocate asap... I am sure he is now on the bandits and kidnappers MOST WANTED list. In fact, he now has many enemies within the force.

May God keep helping and guiding good policemen.

Lol terrorist dey give bribe for Nigeria. If Nigeria was a comedy show it would have won the oscar. It is the audacity for me😂😂😂🏃🏃🏃🏃

If it's real, it's commendable. But I don't trust Nigeria police force on this

The bribe wasn't enough, that's to say the bribe no enter police man eye.
A Nigerian police man no fit reject bribe; over his dead body



That's why I like Wike
The man sabi give bribe, even angel Mikel no fit reject him bribe

One thing I know for sure is that there re still good policemen out there

See gist o.

So we should commend you for not committing a crime or what is the import of this story.

You are indirectly saying an average Nigerian police officer will accept the money, that by extension includes you

With this news everywhere, (which should be underground) i am sure the rest gang must have fled their location

Naso, make una just talk say he didn't up his offer..

Mumu bandit. Weytin be 1M... Make it like 20M and it would have been a juicy offer the DPO wouldn't resist.

The money is just not enough for the DPO to have released the guy

Nigerian police is just doing childish PR.

Do your job of protecting citizens and stop playing!

Hope police will give updates on those kidnappers arrested

Naija our corn3

Impressive.

Lol... When they can collect the entire money

**(Even-though we don't trust the Nigeria Police, this investigation is actually the work of the Police, not the DHQ)..
