EFCC detective arrested for collecting N15m bribe...

A Deputy Detective Superintendent of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Uzodinma Agbazue, has been arrested for allegedly receiving a N15m bribe from a lawmaker who is currently under EFCC investigation.

The EFCC said in a statement by its spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, that the suspect was arrested on September 15, 2016 following an allegation by a lawmaker that the operative collected N15m from him with a promise to give him soft landing by compromising the investigation.

According to the complainant, Agbazue allegedly approached him, claiming he had been mandated by the officer handling the case to discuss and reach an agreement on how to “kill the case”.
