Police arrest fake naval officer in Nasarawa
A phoney naval officer was detained by the police force in Nasarawa State.

The information was made in a statement that DSP Ramhan Nansel, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), signed and made accessible to newsmen on Saturday in Lafia.

The guy was taken into custody while sporting full military camouflage and an identity card carrying his name, according to a Police spokeswoman.

“On August 25, 2022, a 33 years old man, an indigine of Nassarawa-Eggon Local Government Area, was nabbed wearing military camouflage.

“The suspect who claimed to be working in Kogi State, was arrested at Doma market, while putting on full Military Camouflage, by operatives of 4 Special Forces Command, Doma and handed over to the Police for further investigation,” he said.

The official noted that early analysis showed the suspect bought the military uniform and accessories from Lagos State.

According to the PPRO's statement, the suspect had been using it to trick unwary members of the public before his adversary caught up with him.

He added that the probe resulted in the recovery of certain Nigerian Navy military equipment.

He detailed the accessories, which included two pairs of combat shorts, a jack knife, two Nigeria Merchant Navy identification cards bearing Belt's name as the suspect, and two cell phones.

Nansel claimed that Adesina Soyemi, the commissioner of police (CP), had directed the state criminal investigation department to conduct a thorough inquiry to uncover any more offences the suspect may have committed.

He, therefore, said that the suspect would be charged to court for prosecution after the investigation.
