“Upon interrogation, the suspect confessed to the commission of the crime but stated that the amount obtained from the victim was N14 million and not N17 million.
“The Commissioner of Police, CP Umar ShehuNadada, has ordered a thorough investigation into the case and tasked investigators to go after anyone connected with the offence, no matter how highly placed.
“He urged public members to be wary of criminals who have mastered talking about famous people to impress others.”
