The spokesman for the Command, SP Gambo Isah, informed Sahara Reporters on Saturday that Constable Mande received a reward of N30,000 from the State Commissioner of Police for his honesty and was also presented with an award.

While commending the officer, the Katsina State Commissioner of Police, CP Idrisu Dauda, said, "Constable Mande has shown honesty, integrity and patriotism that should be emulated.”
Constable Mande who is attached to the Transport and Workshop unit of the police, was drafted on special duty to the Hajj camp.
