365news gathered that On Monday, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje bestowed another another honor with dignity on the recently promoted Assistant Commissioner of Police Daniel Amah, praising his integrity and professionalism in the process.
Amah, a former divisional police officer (DPO) of the Kano, Nigeria, Nassarawa station, Bompai Division, recently received a promotion from Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) to Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) in the wake of his well-known criminal case.
A $200,000 offer was reportedly made to the young police officer in April 2022 to end a criminal investigation into Ali Zaki, who is accused of organizing armed robbers to follow and steal $750 from a Bureau D’ Change operator. The young police officer reportedly declined the offer. Amah was given a national honor for his heroic deed.
In a letter of praise to Amah, Ganduje stated that his admirable act of incorruptibility is proof that there are still honorable people on the force.
According to the letter, which was delivered to Amah by CP Mohammad Dauda, the commissioner of police for Kano State, Amah’s action eventually resulted in the capture and punishment of Ali Zaki and other criminal organizations.
” You are indeed an absolute gem for accomplishing this outstanding dedication and exhibition of sound professionalism. I join people of goodwill to commend and urge you to uphold this priceless character in your career,” Ganduje said.
CP Dauda who was deployed newly to Kano used the opportunity to caution political actors and implore them to play by the rules as enshrined in the Electoral Act and the Constitution. He insisted no stone would be left unturned to clamp down on any individual or group that attempt to breach public peace before and during the election.
He further reminded that police would remain neutral in the political landscape and assured a level playing ground for all parties, hinting that police would hold a parley with stakeholders on how to mitigate violence during the 2023 poll.
” Our strategy will be citizen-led policing, community policing, trust and partnership between police and public to achieve peace and order. We would deepen our anti-crime fight via visibility policing and working closely with sister security agencies,” CP Dauda asserted.
