Police Arrest 4 Fake EFCC Operatives in Akwa Ibom

Akwa Ibom State Police Command has arrested four suspected fake Economic Financial Crimes Commission officers while planning to abduct and collect N150 million ransom from their victim.

Parading the suspects alongside others at the command headquarters in Ikot Akpan Abia, Uyo, on Monday, the Commissioner of Police, CP WAHEED AYILARA, said the principal suspect, EMMANUEL AKPAYAK, masterminded the kidnap of the would-be victim whom he owed over N12 million, to extort money from him and subsequently kill him to evade repayment of his debt.

AYILARA noted that all suspects would be charged in court at the end of investigations and urged the people of Akwa Ibom to always provide the police with useful information that would help in the eradication of crime and criminal elements in the State.

While thanking Governor UMO ENO for his massive support to police, the Commissioner said he shall leave no stone unturned in ensuring security and peace in the state.
