The Nigerian Army in Port Harcourt has arrested seven men for allegedly parading themselves as army and navy personnel in Rivers and environs.
The Assistant Director, Army Public Relations, 2 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Port Harcourt, Capt. Eli Lazarus, presented the suspects to journalists on Friday.
He said one suspect, used the army uniform for illegal bunkering, while others impersonated military personnel to defraud unsuspecting individuals and companies.
Lazarus listed the suspects as Abba Ibrahim (40), Lucky Nyeke (32), Abba Mohammed (25), Godwin Okeke (25), Tijjani Kano (29), John Inuwa (29) and Gabriel Ameh (44).
“On June 1, troops from 2 Brigade arrested one Abba Ibrahim 40, along Bodo in Gokana while fully dressed in military camouflage uniform with the badge of rank of Captain.
“Ibrahim was sighted alone by our men, who became suspicious and when questioned could not provide answers satisfactorily.
“The suspect revealed that he was dismissed from the Nigerian Army in 2008 as a Sergeant, and while being interrogated confessed to using the uniform to facilitate illegal oil bunkering.
“One Toyota Hilux vehicle with registration number Cross River GGJ 561 AA and refined automotive gasoline oil loaded in the vehicle were recovered from the suspect,” the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted the army spokesman as saying on the matter.

My experience with military check point at okigwe roundabout today 3/6/2016. At checkpoint stop, I stop wind down, I did park well I parked, and a civilian approached me and demanded for local government stickers and I asked is that why a well armed soldier stopped me? And I approached the soldier and he told me to settle with the boy. What a shame to a well armed soldier? Others are busy chasing boko haram and militant those one at okigwe roundabout are busy conniving with tout and are extorting money from motorist.
