be arraigned in court for prosecution on completion of investigation.

would not relent in its efforts to check activities of unscrupulous
politicians, adding that they must play the game according to the rules.
He commended members of the
public for giving the police timely information that aided the re-arrest of the
suspects.
The spokesman said the force’s
fight against crimes and criminality in the country remained unequivocal and
unwavering.
Seidu had confessed that Melaye
handed over to him a bag containing one AK47 rifle, two pump action guns and
N430,000.00 to share with his boys.
