Soldiers from the 9 Brigade of the Nigerian Army have apprehended a man named Animashaun Khalid for allegedly posing as an army major.
Gatekeepers News reports that according to a statement released on Monday by Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson for the Lagos police, Khalid was allegedly found in possession of a forged Nigerian Army identity card that displayed his name along with the rank of major. This incident took place at the Arena market in Oshodi.
“The case has since been assigned to Special Squad I to conduct a thorough investigation aimed at tracing the source of the forgery, identifying accomplices, and determining whether the suspect used the fake identity to commit other offences,” the statement reads.
“Upon conclusion of the investigation, the case would be charged to court accordingly.
“CP Olohundare Jimoh commended the Nigerian Army for the swift arrest and prompt handover, stressing the importance of synergy among security agencies in tackling crime.
