Akerele Shinaba, said the suspect was apprehended at Badawa town through an intelligent networking. Shinaba added that Daddy would soon be arraigned. He said: “Similarly, we have arrested three persons who faked themselves as men of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID).
“The two men were said to have duped somebody after tagging him an insurgent and threatened to take him to their office if he did not cooperate. “Already, these men are cooling their feet in our custody and soon they will be taken to court to face impersonation charges.”
The fake detectives, according to him, were threatening people by tagging them as insurgents. He added that they collected money running into millions of naira from their victims.
The suspects, AbduRazak Umar who posed as Deputy Commissioner of Police, Aliyu Adamu as Superintendent of Police and Inuwa Muhammad as Inspector, went to somebody around Lebanon Road. After a series of negotiation, he gave them N1.5 million, but suspecting their action, he quickly reported the matter to the police.
