Two security guards attached to an
estate in Akowonjo, Egbeda, Lagos, have been arrested by the Special
Anti-Robbery Squad of the state police command for allegedly
impersonating men of the Nigerian Army.
It was learnt that the guards ─ Richard
Adamu, 25; and Musa Mohammed 26 ─ were apprehended in the community in
military camouflage.
A handcuff, two jack knives and a
Nigeria Police Force crest were said to have been recovered from the two
bags found with the suspects, who hail from Adamawa State.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the
police team had stormed the neighbourhood on November 24 around 6am for
an operation geared towards curtailing bank robbery in the state.
A police source told our correspondent
that the guards were detained after they could not give satisfactory
explanations to the items recovered from them.
The source said, “A team of SARS
operatives, led by one Sergeant Emmanuel, embarked on a patrol within
Area M Command, as a proactive measure to stem bank robbery in the
state. The team intercepted two young men in military camouflage with
two bags.
“They claimed to be members of the
Nigerian Legion. A handcuff, one Nigeria Police Force crest and two jack
knives were found in their bags. They were brought to the command for
interrogation, but they could not give satisfactory explanations.”
