Nigerian Army Rewards Soldier for Rejecting Bribe
Maj-Gen. Maxwell Dangana, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 3 Division of the Nigerian Army and Commander of “Operation Enduring Peace” (OPEP), awarded Private Utim Terwase N500,000 for rejecting a bribe from a suspected notorious kidnapper. Terwase apprehended the suspect during an attempted escape but refused the N500,000 offered for his release, choosing instead to hand the suspect over to the authorities.
Captain Polycarp Chinonso Oteh, the spokesman for OPEP, confirmed the reward presentation, which was conducted by Col. Philimon Malgwi on behalf of Dangana. During the presentation, Dangana commended Terwase for his honesty, discipline, and professionalism, stating that his actions exemplified the highest standards expected of Nigerian Army personnel.
The GOC noted that the reward was equivalent to the bribe rejected and aimed to encourage all military personnel to uphold integrity and ethical conduct in their duties.
