Cops Refuse To ‘Secretly’ Release Man Arrested For Kidnapping In Abuja…Reject N1.5m Bribe
A 40-year-old man, Yahaya Saleh, who is a resident of Abuja, has demonstrated that he does not believe in the common saying that ‘security is everybody’s business’ and he has begun to pay the price.
He has been arrested and taken into custody by the police .
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Saleh was arrested by the police in Abuja after attempting to make cops release a man arrested for kidnapping through the backdoor.
He had offered detectives ₦1.5 million bribe in a bid to secure the release of the suspected kidnapper in question.
Spokesperson for FCT Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh disclosed in a statement she issued on Wednesday that Saleh had offered to make the money available to the detectives with a view to making them work towards the release of the kidnapping suspect but the police officers not only declined the offer but also immediately got him arrested.
‘Yahaya Saleh approached the investigators and offered the bribe as an inducement to compromise the case and unlawfully release one of the arrested suspects.
Demonstrating professionalism, integrity, and unwavering commitment to justice, the police officers promptly declined the offer and initiated necessary legal procedures, leading to Saleh’s immediate arrest.
While an investigation is ongoing to arrest other actors in the syndicate, the Commissioner of Police, CP Ajao S. Adewale psc, mnips, has commended the cops for their exemplary conduct and assured the public that the command remains resolute in its stance against corruption and interference with justice’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
