The FCT Police Command said it has detained four of its personnel and commenced an investigation into an alleged extortion brought against them.

The territory’s Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Sanusi, said this while addressing journalists in Abuja on Monday.

“We have about four policemen in custody as we speak who tried, not just tried, but successfully extorted somebody of high importance, unknown to them.

“This person is highly placed in society. In fact, in clear terms, they extorted the chairman of ICPC.

“When they finish trying them, we will bring them here so that you can see the thieves. I have made it clear here that you have to choose to be either a policeman or a thief.
