Nigerian Soldier Rejects ₦500,000 Bribe From Suspected Kidnapper

Private Utim Terwase reportedly refused a ₦500,000 bribe from a suspected kidnapper he apprehended in Plateau State. The Nigerian Army later rewarded him with the same amount for his conduct, praising his professionalism and commitment to duty. Terwase’s decision stands out amid the hardship facing many Nigerians and the challenges confronting the military. I believe his actions deserve recognition and show the importance of discipline and integrity in public service. The Army could also consider supporting his education and career progression. Ultimately, our soldiers deserve better treatment, and Terwase’s example raises a question: is this conduct the norm among military personnel, or an exception?
