Led by their commitment to upholding the values of the Nigeria Police Force and combating corruption, these officers, during a routine stop and search operation, apprehended the suspected bandit and steadfastly declined the hefty bribe offered to them.

Taraba State Commissioner of Police, David Iloyalonomo, personally commended and rewarded the officers at the Taraba State Police Command Headquarters for their remarkable display of integrity and dedication to duty.

Speaking to journalists at the checkpoint, Officer Ngamarju Gambo expressed the team’s conviction in combating corruption and maintaining peace, underscoring that corrupt practices have no place within the ranks of the police force.

Impressed by their actions, Iloyalonomo pledged to recommend the officers to Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, for promotion and national recognition, acknowledging their exceptional service to the nation.
