Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, has awarded an Assistant Comptroller-General of Customs in Nigeria for rejecting bribe.
Bashir Abubakar, according to Mr Buhari, rejected a bribe of $412,000 per container offered him by drug traffickers seeking to bring 40 containers of Tramadol into Nigeria.
That amounts to about $16, 480,000.
President Buhari, in a statement, described the Assistant Comptroller-General’s action as “a fine example of incorruptibility, worthy of emulation by all.”
He said “Nigeria will progress only if it is founded on these values of ethics and integrity.”
