Army rewards soldier ₦500,000 for rejecting kidnapper’s bribe

Nigerian Army rewards Private Utim Terwase with ₦500,000 for refusing a bribe from a suspected kidnapper in Plateau State. Terwase apprehended the suspect following an attempted escape but declined the ₦500,000 offered to secure his release, instead handing the suspect over to authorities. The reward was presented by the Commander of Sector 6, Operation Enduring Peace, Colonel Philimon Malgwi, on Wednesday.

General Maxwell Dangana commended Terwase's conduct, stating that it demonstrated the level of discipline and commitment expected of military personnel.
