Police authorities in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have narrated how some officers in the command rejected a ₦1.5 million bribe to secure the release of a kidnap suspect.
In a statement on Wednesday, the spokesperson of the FCT Police Command, Josephine Adeh, said one person was arrested following the incident.
The arrest was made following a discreet operation by officers of the Command’s Scorpion Squad, who had been handling the ongoing investigation into a kidnapping syndicate operating within FCT and its environs.
