Suspected fake soldier

An ex-convict, Segun Ogundeji, has been arrested by men of Ogun State Police Command for impersonation.

The suspect was arrested when he went to Sango Ota divisional headquarters fully dressed in army camouflage uniform to solicit for the release of a suspect.

On getting to the station, he met another Air Force man, one Cpl John Temitope, who accused the suspect of failure to give him official compliment, as a result of which quarrel ensued between them.

It was the quarrel that led the Divisional Police officer, DPO, Sango, CSP Godwin Idehai, to interrogate them.

It was during the interrogation that the police discovered that Segun Ogundeji was not a military man.

It was also discovered that he had once been convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction for impersonation.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Edward Awolowo Ajogun, has ordered a full investigation into the past activities of the suspect, with the view to charge him to court as soon as investigation is concluded.
