The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Kwara State Command, has arrested a fake soldier, Akinola Tosin, 34, for alleged involvement in fraud and impersonation, DAILY POST reports.

The suspect was apprehended following a complaint that he defrauded a Point-of-Sale, POS, operator through the use of a fake bank transfer alert.

According to a statement by the spokesman of the command, Ayoola Michael Shola in Ilorin on Monday, “Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect collected the sum of N40,600 after presenting a fake debit alert to the POS operator, deceiving the victim into believing a successful transfer had been made.

“Further investigations revealed that the suspect had been impersonating a member of the Nigerian Army using a fake military identity card bearing his name, alongside military-related paraphernalia, which he allegedly used to gain public trust and facilitate his criminal activities.

“The suspect also confessed to previous fraudulent activities involving multiple victims, while further investigation uncovered a suspected accomplice, identified as one Feranmi Idoko Godwin, who is currently at large.”

Ayoola further disclosed that efforts were ongoing to apprehend the fleeing suspect and conclude investigations.

Items recovered from the suspect include, two Opay ATM cards, two UBA ATM cards, two First Bank ATM cards, one PalmPay ATM card and one National Identity Card.

The suspect will be prosecuted in accordance with the law upon the conclusion of investigations, the statement added.

The NSCDC Commandant, Abbas Ndah Mohammed, reaffirmed the corps’ unwavering commitment to combating crime and other forms of criminality, while urging members of the public to remain vigilant and verify electronic transactions before releasing cash, goods or other valuables.

Impersonating soldier ke

Him go teh for guard room or cell

I don't like to boast here, but when I have to use a POS, I always wait until the alert lands in the POS person's account, before I leave. If it does not, then that's that.

POS people, no let anyone go until the alert lands in your POS Machine.

His punishment should be to be handed over to the barrack boys let them use him to ease up their anger and frustration and also mourn their beheaded colleagues who were beheaded by boko haram

Possibly a dismissed soldier or a soldier boy/barrack boy. Coz na the only group of people wey I believe say go get mind wear camo, go use am defraud be that. Or use am enter town with convenience be that

Why hide his face now!



Meanwhile, this is wickedness of the highest order from PHED.

They should engage him in NA and send him to battle front. Afterall, that was his dream

Just funny. How do you feel free when town is hot

What rubbish is this, if you choose the path of crime at least carry out the one that even when you are caught people go tell you Weldon you try, police will be lining up just to take selfies and lawyers will be fighting to handle your case. This is a big waste of crime.

Good for him . Let him face the consequences
