Police arrest fake soldier in Lagos
The Police Command in Lagos State has arrested a 65-year-old man, Jeremiah Joseph, for impersonation as an army officer and defrauded a man of N120,000 in the Ipaja area of the state.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Benjamin Hundeyin, on his verified Twitter handle, said on Tuesday that the suspect was arrested by officers of Ipaja Division after he duped a man and ran away.
“The suspect presented himself as an Army Lieutenant to one Ignatius.
“The fake Lieutenant promised to arrange soldiers to help Ignatius recover N4.5 million owed him by some people in Delta State.
“He received N120,000 for this service and thereafter absconded,” the PPRO narrated.
Hundeyin said that a fake Army identity card and uniform were found in his apartment.
