INCNews247 reports that their suspension follows a viral audio recording where Bobrisky claimed to have bribed EFCC officials and NCoS Controller General Haliru Nababa.
Additionally, ASC II Ogbule Samuel Obinna and Iloafonsi Kevin Ikechukwu were suspended for separate infractions.
Obinna allegedly escorted a convicted inmate outside the Afikpo Medium Security Custodial Centre, while Ikechukwu reportedly received money on behalf of an inmate at Kuje-Abuja Medium Security Custodial Centre.
INCNews247 learnt the suspension is to enable further investigation into these allegations, with the outcome to be made public.
