Ogun State Police Command on Sunday said its operatives had arrested an ex-convict, Segun Ogundeji, who impersonated a soldier at Sango-Ota Police Divisional Headquarters in Ogun.
Spokesman for the police in Ogun, Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed this in a statement issued in Ota.
He said Ogundeji was arrested when he went to Sango-Ota Divisional Headquarters fully dressed in army camouflage to solicit for the release of a suspect.
“On getting to the station, Ogundeji met an Air Force man, one Cpl. John Temitope, who accused him of failure to give him official complement, as a result of which a quarrel ensued between them.
“It was the quarrel that led the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Sango-Ota, CSP Godwin Idehai, to interrogate them. It was during the interrogation that the police discovered that Ogundeji is not a military man.
“It was also discovered that a court once convicted Ogundeji for impersonation.”
He added that the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun, had ordered an investigation into the past activities of the Ogundeji.
