A retired colonel, Bassey Jackson-Umoh,
was on Thursday paraded by the Cross River State Police command for
allegedly stealing a 2008 model of Toyota Highlander belonging to a
member of the Cross River House of Assembly, Mr. Steven Okpupken.
Briefing PUNCH Metro on the
development at the command headquarters in Calabar, the Police Public
Relations Officer, Mr. John Eluu, said the suspect was arrested with the
vehicle in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State following complaints from a car dealer.
He said the retired colonel, who
allegedly posed as Maj.-Gen Peter Williams, attached to the Aso Rock
Villa in Abuja, had issued a dud cheque to the car dealer and left an
old Toyota Camry car in the dealer’s custody.

when he regained his freedom.
“At the end of the day, the truth will
come out and I will deal with all those connected with this and
everybody connected will pay for it,” he boasted.
