SP Amah is the divisional police officer, Nassarawa Divisional headquarters, Kano state.

Kano state police spokesman, SP Abdullahi Haruna-Kiyawa, disclosed this to newsmen on Tuesday in Kano.

He said that a commendation letter signed by the I-G was presented to Amah by the deputy commissioner of police in charge of administration in Kano, Abubakar Zubairu,
