Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Daniel Amah, once celebrated for rejecting a $200,000 bribe nearly three years ago, has converted to Islam in a private ceremony held at the palace of 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.

The event, which took place on Tuesday, saw Amah formally embracing Islam and adopting ‘Muhammad’ as his new name.

Speaking during the ceremony, Emir Sanusi II urged the newly converted Amah to seek Islamic knowledge and observe the core tenets of the religion, including the five pillars of Islam: belief in Allah, daily five-time prayers, fasting during Ramadan, pilgrimage to Mecca, and Zakat (charitable giving).

Addressing Amah in Hausa language, the Emir prayed for Allah’s guidance for him, expressing hope that he would excel as a devout Muslim. He also advised Amah to maintain his exemplary character and to remain respectful and obedient to his parents, regardless of their religious beliefs.

LEADERSHIP recalls that Amah first gained national recognition in April 2022 as the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Nasarawa Police Division in Kano State. He rejected a $200,000 bribe offered by armed robbery suspects involved in the theft of over N300million. The suspects, led by Ali Zaki, had trailed and robbed a Bureau De Change (BDC) operator who was in possession of $750,000 cash.

In recognition of his integrity, the Police Service Commission (PSC) promoted Amah from Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) to Assistant Commissioner of Police on November 10, 2022. Additionally, he received the prestigious 2022 Public Service Integrity Award from the then President Muhammadu Buhari.

The award followed a recommendation by the then chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye, in a letter dated September 13, 2022.
