Confirming the incident, Ben Murei, an EACC officer from the Western region said that the arrest came after a tip-off from the suspect's brother, from whom he demanded the bribe.

Speaking to Radio Ramogi, Murei added that his officers later laid a trap which the mentioned officer unknowingly walked into, reports the Citizen Digital.
