A FAKE soldier, Miss Angela Omieh, who was arrested on April 17, this year by men of the 32 Artillery Brigade, Akure, was re-arrested yesterday at Igbara-Oke military check-point in Ifedore Local Government Area, Ondo State.
After her latest arrest in the same army uniform, she gave her name as Miss Jamila Suleiman of Mile 3, Dioba, Port Harcourt, River State, contrary to her former name
.
The State Police Commissioner, Isaac Eke, who paraded the suspect after briefing reporters in his office, said the fake soldier was earlier in the year arrested by military men and handed over to the police.
He said she was then charged to court but was granted bail.
He added that the suspect was re-arrested again at Igbara-Oke military check-point while impersonating herself as a soldier.
The suspect said she committed the offence in order to survive after the death of her father.
She confessed that she bought the uniform from a shop in Delta State and pleaded for leniency, promising not to involve in such act again.
Eke also spoke on a case of attempted murder involving one Busayo Ayowele. The Police Commissioner said during investigation, the suspect confessed to have “soaked his man friend, one Anthony Idowu, with petrol and set him ablaze which resulted in the victim’s death.”
The police chief added that 23 armed robbery suspects were arrested over one kidnapping case and two child stealing reports.
He said the command had recorded a lot of success in the second quarter of the year.
Eke stressed that 10 arms were recovered while 36 suspects were charged to court for criminal offences. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
