“The police are still searching for the other seven suspects and I am sure they too will be arrested very very soon,” a source stated.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Femi Joseph, said the issue of the kidnap of Falae, a former presidential candidate, was being handled by the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase.
“I don’t know anything about the issue again; it is the IG that has taken over the issue of Chief Falae because it is a national issue. The IG is likely to brief the press about the development tomorrow (Monday)” Joseph stated.
