Hon. Baffa Babba Dan, rewarded Jalo, the Managing Director of KAROTA, who cut off the trucks with an N1million after he rejected a N500,000 bribe from the truck owners to release the drinks.
Jalo said, “We intercepted the trucks on Obasanjo Road heading to Sabon Gari Area of the State. They offered me a bribe but I refused to take it because I know the damages alcohol causes to lives”.
