The Customs Area Comptroller of the Sokoto/Zamfara Command, Kamal Mohammed, has praised his officers for rejecting a N1.5m bribe after apprehending three suspects linked to railway track vandalism.
This was conveyed in a tweet via the agency’s X handle on Wednesday, 12th of June, 2024, as Mohammed revealed that the suspects are members of a notorious cartel specialised in railway vandalisation.
Mohammed said:
“On the 8 of June, our officers intercepted a 20-footer truck containing vandalised railway tracks along with three suspects. They couldn’t tender evidence from the Federal Ministry of Transport and instead offered a bribe to the tune of 1.5 million naira with an advance cash offer of N300,000. Out of patriotism and integrity, the officers chose the path of honour by detaining them at the command headquarters.
“As we are all aware, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) is the agency mandated to secure critical National assets; conforming with the CGC’s policy thrust of collaboration, the Area Command will hand over the suspects, truck and its content, and the sum of N300,000 cash to the commander NSCDC Sokoto command for further investigation and prosecution.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
