”During his interrogation at the RRS’s headquarters in Alausa, the suspect stylishly stepped on  N1,200 which fell from a police woman’s pocket while removing her cell phone from the pocket.

”When the money dropped on the floor, he picked it and pocketed it.

”Unknown to him, another suspect had seen him when he was hiding the money, and immediately alerted the officer that the money she was looking for was with the suspect,” Badmos said.

She said the suspect had been transferred to the State Environmental Task force for prosecution.
