Amaraizu further stated that the suspect had gone to the police division “to solicit for the release of his associates in crime, identified as Abea Johnson and Henry Nwankwo all of Ezeagu local government area of Enugu state, but residing in Onitsha Anambra state.”
“They were nabbed earlier by the operatives on an alleged case of being in possession of fake currency notes, in which they had on 17/12/15 gone to a shop at Nanka street New Haven to buy things with the fake currency note and through that process, get the real currency note as a balance.
“However, the owner of the shop having observed the situation, raised alarm, which attracted the attention of the security operatives,” the police spokesperson said.
“The fake Naval officer, Sunday Oka had also gone to the house of Henry Nwakwo, where he extorted the sum of thirty four thousand naira, under a guise that he was going to get Henry out from detention.
“Items recovered from the suspects are forty-five pieces of fake currency notes of 1,000 naira denominations.
“All the suspects are helping the police operatives in their investigations and are pleading for forgiveness.
“To Sunday Oka, who revealed that he is a panel beater and married with four kids, he attributed the situation he is facing to act of devil and maintained that he wore the Naval T-shirt and cap to deceive and make the operatives succumb to his request. He further revealed that he has not been in any of the forces, let alone navy,” Amaraizu added.
In the same vein, a 62-year-old man named Babatunde Idris was arrested by the Oyo state police command for parading himself as a colonel of the Nigerian army. Daily Post reports that the suspect used a fake identity card to defraud one Yinusa Mustapha to the tune of N40m.
