Operatives of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Police Command have arrested one Yahaya Saleh for attempting to secure the release of a suspected kidnapper.
This was confirmed in a statement by Josephine Adeh, the Police Public Relations Officer of the command.
She said Yahaya attempted to bribe the police investigators handling the kidnap case with the sum of N1,500,000 to secure the release of the suspect.
Yahaya, according to the police, approached the investigators and offered the amount as a bribe to compromise the case and unlawfully release the suspect from custody.
Josephine Adeh said the police investigators, however, rejected the offer and promptly initiated necessary legal procedures which led to the immediate arrest of Yahaya.
She added that investigation is currently ongoing to get other actors in the syndicate arrested.
