EFCC operative arrested for extorting N45m from suspects


The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested one of its operatives over alleged extortion of suspects who are under investigation.
A statement on Friday night by EFCC spokesman Wilson Uwujaren said the operative, Abdulrahman Mohammed Biu, a deputy detective superintendent, was arrested for offences bordering on extortion and influence peddling.

Uwujaren said: "The officer was arrested on Monday January 25, 2016 following intelligence report alleging that he extorted a whopping sum of $150,000 (N45 million) from some  military officers on the pretext that he would help give them a soft landing in the ongoing  investigation into the arms deal  scandal.‎”
