Dalung praises ACP Daniel for refusing to accept a bribe of 200 thousand dollars "in a state where dollars are stolen"
The former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, praised the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Daniel Ameh, for refusing to accept a bribe of US$200,000 from someone in Kano.
Dalung made this speech at an event organized by the Public Awareness Center on Shari'a and Accountability, CAJA, in collaboration with the Penlight Center for New Media Innovation, to honor the outstanding police officer in Kano on Wednesday. .
Daily Nigerian reported that Mr. Ameh refused to accept the bribe in April 2022, when he was a police officer at the Nasarawa Police Station in Kano.
It seems that the former minister is talking about some videos published by the Daily Nigerian newspaper, which show the governor of Kano state, Abdullahi Ganduje pouring dollars into a big shirt, which is believed to be a bribe from contractors in 2018.
While a former secretary general of the National Health Insurance Commission, NHIS, Yusuf Usman, was saluting Ameh before handing him the award, Dalung interrupted him, saying, "And he did that in the state where stealing dollars. "
This made the participants of the meeting dry up with laughter in the meeting room.
Speaking from the beginning, as a consultant, the former minister criticized those he described as political bandits who held the country for ransom.
He also described the recipient of the award as someone who shined the light of the Nigerian Police Force, saying that the force is not as corrupt as it is supposed to be.
