NBI arrests cop in payoff

A CEBU City policeman was entrapped, disarmed and arrested for allegedly threatening a businessman with a non-bailable drug case unless he agreed to a P2-million payoff.

The entrapment of SPO1 Jaime Fabroa Otadoy was carried out by agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) yesterday.

Otadoy was in plainclothes when he was taken to the NBI headquarters after his arrest inside Camp Sotero Cabahug on Gorordo Ave., where the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) and its special units are based. Otadoy is with the CCPO special unit Vice Control Section (VCS).
