One Muhammed Haladu has been arrested for parading as a soldier.
Haladu’s arrest was announced by the Nasarawa State Police command.
The latter in a press statement its Public Relations Officer, DSP Ramhan Nansel released on Thursday, said the suspect was caught in a full military camouflage at Awe Local Government Area of the state by two soldiers.
Nasel said on interrogation he lied to be a soldier attached to 231 Battalion Biu, Borno State, but investigation proved otherwise.
She added that not few innocent persons had lost money to the fake soldier’s empty promise of helping to secure employment with the Nigerian Army.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect attempted to join the military but couldn’t, thus, went to military barracks to purchase the uniform he is using for his nefarious activities,” the statement stated.
