The Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, who confirmed the arrest, stated that the matter was under investigation.
He said, “He (Bobrisky) was arrested, but he has been granted bail; he is no longer in our custody but he is still under investigation. He was arrested on the allegation by a businesswoman that he fraudulently collected N30m from her.
