A fake Superintendent of Police has been arrested by soldiers
with 100 kilogramme of Indian hemp along Bauchi-Kano road near Gadar Maiwa
village in Ningi Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
According to reliable security source
in Bauchi, the man was arrested at a military road block along Ningi road with
a fake identity card of the rank of Superintendent of Police, SP.
The suspect also wore a
Superintendent of Police uniform with his car loaded with 108 kilogramme sacks
of leaves suspected to be Indian hemp.
The security source said: “After the man was arrested, the first
preliminary investigation confirmed that he was not a policeman and he was
handed over to the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency NDLEA , Bauchi State
Command for further investigation.”
He gave the name of the suspect as
Augustine Odugwu and appealed to the general public to always be security
conscious and report any suspicious character to the security agencies even if
the person was in uniform.
Effort to get the comment of the
NDLEA commandant Bauchi, Mr. Parah Julius Bawa, failed because he was not on
seat but a senior officer in the command confirmed that the suspect is
undergoing interrogation and has made confessional statement. [Vangurd]
