He noted that in the course of their operation, they received information that expired goods worth billions of naira were kept in a warehouse in the Kano metropolis.
Kiyawa said:
“The task force team stormed the warehouse, where one million naira was offered them as a bribe. They rejected the bribe, recovered the expired goods, the money as an exhibit and arrested the suspect."
Sahara Reporters also reports that the acting managing director of the CPC, Baffa Dan’agundi, also commended the officers for rejecting the bribe.
Dan’agundi said the council had decided to show appreciation for the good conduct of the officers by presenting them with a gift of one million Naira.
He called on the people to continue to support the police and appreciate those performing their duties well.

It was reported that Akpabio was said to have made the denial when reacting to claims that he bribed Malami to get Effiong Akwa appointed as sole administrator for the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
The former Senate minority leader in a statement issued by his media aide, Anietie Ekong on Saturday, January 16, faulted the report and described it as ridiculous.
The attorney general of the federation faulted reports which alleged that he collected a bribe from Akpabio.
Malami in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Umar Gwandu, on Friday, January 15, described the report as false.
