The suspects, Abdulmumini Ala, Bala Abdullahi and Samuel Marafa, were paraded alongside N540, 000 made as part payment of the alleged bribe.
The police said the suspect offered the bribe in order to remove from the police records, some firearms recovered from their relatives who had been earlier apprehended by operatives of SARS for robbery allegations and possession of three AK-47 rifles.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Bala Elkana, said: “We have three persons in our custody that approached SARS and offered to give a bribe of N1 million for the police to remove from the records firearms recovered from their relatives who were earlier arrested by SARS and charged to court.”
